Proton Beam Therapy

We’re by Your Side as You Face Cancer. We Want to Make Sure You Have All the Information You Need to Make the Decision That’s Best for You.

For some cancers, proton therapy is the best choice:

  • Helpful in reducing side effects and may reduce future cancers.
  • Best used to treat tumors near sensitive organs.

Accommodations

Seattle welcomes patients and their families to our city during proton treatment. Center patients are welcomed at the South Lake Union House (formerly SCCA House), offering 80 affordable apartment-style units specifically designed for patients. Patient suites, patient/caregiver suites and family suites that sleep up to five are available.

Seattle has hundreds of hotels to choose from but we have relationships with a number of properties close to the proton therapy facility, and some with flexible rates for longer-term stays.
