Fred Hutch Proton Therapy

Fred Hutch Proton Therapy is a medical facility located in Seattle, Washington. The center is a part of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, a unified cancer research and care center formed by the merger of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The facility employs 45 people and generates an annual revenue of $1 billion. Fred Hutch Proton Therapy specializes in providing proton therapy, a highly precise form of radiation treatment. This advanced treatment method allows doctors to target radiation directly at tumors, minimizing exposure to healthy tissue and potential side effects. The center offers proton therapy for various cancers, including pediatric cancers, prostate cancer, and brain cancer. The 60,000-square-foot facility is situated on the campus of UW Medicine's Northwest Hospital & Medical Center, providing convenient access to other cancer services and related facilities. In addition to individual treatment, Fred Hutch Proton Therapy hosts a monthly prostate cancer support group in collaboration with Cancer Lifeline, available virtually via Zoom for past, current, and prospective patients.
