Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) is a cancer treatment center that unites doctors from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Seattle Children's Hospital. SCCA's goal is to turn cancer patients into cancer survivors. Their purpose is to lead the world in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
The best doctors
SCCA’s parent organization – Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine and Seattle Children’s – are recognized internationally as leaders in the fight against cancer. As a result, SCCA is home to some of the world’s best surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists. Together, this team of doctors offers the most advanced care and the best outcomes available anywhere.
Access to the latest treatments
Patients at SCCA receive the latest treatments and therapies for cancer, from chemotherapy regimens that are easier to tolerate to less-invasive surgical procedures that minimize post-operative pain and speed up the healing process. Patients also have access to many new drugs and alternative treatments that are under investigation in clinical studies and are available only at SCCA and at limited sites around the country.
An alliance at the leading edge of cancer care
The Hutchinson Center, together with its clinical and research partners – University of Washington, Seattle Children’s and SCCA – comprise the Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington Cancer Consortium. The Consortium is among the 40 National Cancer Institue – designated comprehensive caner centers nationwide and receives more funding for cancer research than any other NCI site in the country.
