Your team will create an individualized treatment plan specifically targeted to your type of cancer. Proton therapy can reduce overall toxicity and may improve your quality of life during and after treatment. Unlike conventional radiation, it can be used for patients who have already received radiation.

As part of the SCCA family, we combine innovative research with state-of-the-art patient- and family-centered care; run hundreds of clinical trials that advance the standard of care; support education; and enhance access to improved cancer interventions.

We understand that choosing a cancer treatment can be a daunting task for both you and your loved ones, and we’re here to answer any questions you might have. We’re committed to your mental, physical and spiritual well-being — our team includes nutritionists, social workers, therapists and natural medicine specialists who will work side-by-side with you to ensure your quality of life is the best it can be.

We’re excited to partner with you on your path to good health. This guidebook has all the information you need to begin the process here at the SCCA Proton Therapy Center, but if you have any questions at all, we’re just a click or a phone call away! Contact us at (206) 306-2800 or info@seattleprotons.org.
