Care team
At Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), we surround you with experts who focus completely on cancer, day in and day out.
A handful of people make up the core of your nuclear medicine team. You will have a nuclear medicine specialist who interprets your imaging scans. They also design and manage any nuclear medicine therapy that you get. A technologist does your scans, and a nurse helps with your care. You may also see the team’s advanced practice provider. A patient care coordinator schedules your visits.
Others may join your team based on your personal needs. Along with your oncologists, we may call in other types of specialists to help plan or provide your treatment. We have specialists based at SCCA who know the issues that matter for people with cancer.
Supportive care providers are also here to help. You may see SCCA dietitians, physical therapists, psychologists, social workers and others. All of them are experts in caring for people during and after cancer.
