ABOUT THE SCCA

The Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) brings together the best of three internationally renowned cancer-care institutions: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center.

The SCCA's purposes:

• Provide premier, patient-focused cancer care.
• Support the conduct of cancer clinical research and education.
• Enhance access to improved cancer interventions.
• Advance the standard of cancer care, regionally and beyond.

A major focus of the SCCA is to speed up the transfer of new diagnostic and treatment techniques from the research setting to patient care. The highly integrated approach to cancer research and treatment among SCCA partner organizations supports the flow of scientific information among researchers, clinicians, and patients, thereby accelerating the development of new knowledge and treatment of various cancers.
