Fred Hutch - Proton Therapy

Fred Hutch Cancer Center - Proton Therapy uses highly targeted radiation to treat complex tumors. Call (877) 897-7628 or email info.proton@fredhutch.org.

Fred Hutch - Proton Therapy is the only proton therapy center in the Pacific Northwest and a seven-state region surrounding region. Our doctors are excited to have proton therapy as part of their arsenal in making the most targeted and effective treatments available to patients. As an advanced form of radiation treatment, proton therapy can be calibrated with great precision to selectively kill cancer cells while avoiding healthy tissue. With the opening of our proton therapy facility at on the Northwest Hospital campus, patients in our region who can benefit from proton therapy will no longer need to travel to other parts of the country for a multi-week course of treatment. The clinical benefits proton therapy offers over standard X-ray treatment for certain types of cancer are becoming increasingly well known. The accuracy of the delivery of proton radiation, for example, reduces damage to the healthy tissues and organs surrounding tumors. Other benefits include fewer side effects, including a decreased risk of developing secondary tumors (cancers that result from radiation treatment). We currently offer a monthly prostate cancer support group, hosted though Cancer Lifeline via Zoom. These meetings are open to past, current and prospective prostate cancer patients who received or plan to receive proton therapy at our facility. Please check in with our Concierge Team for more details. Prostate Dinner Club
Location: Held virtually via Zoom
Date: 4th Wednesday of every month

Ever wonder why physicians mention only solid tumors when speaking about ? Unlike X-rays, which are waves of energy, protons are subatomic particles. These particles release their energy as radiation suddenly, in a peak. For therapy, physicians make sure that release happens within the tumor. Because it has to be precisely calculated to the target, protons can't be used for moving cancer cells such as blood-based cancers like leukemia.
