Multiple Myeloma

Overview

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance provides comprehensive, leading-edge treatment for people diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Right now there are about 50,000 people in the United States who have multiple myeloma, also known as myeloma, a form of cancer that affects white blood cells called plasma cells. SCCA was formed, in part, to bring promising new treatments to patients faster. This means that people who have myeloma will find more treatment options at SCCA than might be found elsewhere, including participation in one of the clinical trials conducted at SCCA and its parent organizations, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and UW Medicine.
