Fred Hutch Bone Marrow Transplant Program

Bone marrow transplantation — which uses stem cells from the patient or from a donor to reset the immune system — is one of the great success stories in cancer care. Pioneered at Fred Hutch, transplantation has boosted cure rates for some blood cancers from nearly zero to 90 percent. In addition to blood cancers, bone marrow transplantation (or transplantation of stem cells from peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood) can be used to treat a range of blood and autoimmune diseases, including sickle cell disease, scleroderma and multiple sclerosis. Our program has performed more than 16,000 bone marrow transplants — more than any other institution in the world.

Many of the therapies involve T cells that have been genetically modified to more effectively target cancers. The clinic features 15 patient care suites that accommodate a wide array of outpatient services, along with space for family and friends who accompany patients.

Supportive Care Services

Our specialists provide supportive and palliative care to help patients understand their condition and the choices available to them, manage their pain and other symptoms, cope with the stress of having cancer, and consider their plans and wishes for the future.

Long-Term Follow-Up

Our Long-Term Follow-Up program provides lifelong monitoring and care for patients who have had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant at SCCA. The program’s specialists follow more than 5,000 patients, both children and adults, some of whom had a transplant more than 40 years ago.

Survivorship Clinic

Our Survivorship Clinic addresses the wide range of challenges that cancer survivors may face after therapy ends — including pain, fatigue, fear of recurrence, neuropathy, lymphedema, bone loss, sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, memory issues, and future cancer risk.

Proton Therapy Center

Proton therapy is an advanced radiation treatment that precisely targets tumors, minimizing radiation to healthy tissue and improving the lives of patients with cancer. The center is located on the campus of UW Medicine’s Northwest Hospital and Medical Center.

Prostate Cancer Genetics Clinic

Knowing whether a patient carries an inherited genetic mutation can help doctors more precisely tailor treatment. The Prostate Cancer Genetics Clinic offers genetic testing for prostate cancer patients, guidance on treatment, and second opinions for non-SCCA patients.
