Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center - Proton Therapy is among a small number of centers in the nation to offer proton therapy and is the first in the Northwest. The center is part of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, a unified cancer research and care center created by the merger of SCCA and Fred Hutch, that is clinically integrated with UW Medicine. The 60,000-square-foot facility is on the campus of UW Medicine's Northwest Hospital & Medical Center conveniently located near other cancer services and complementary facilities.
Proton therapy is an advanced and highly precise form of radiation treatment. It allows doctors to focus radiation directly into the tumor, reducing radiation to healthy tissue and the risk of side effects. Proton therapy is an excellent treatment for pediatric cancers and cancers of the prostate, brain and more.
