The Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center in Renton, Washington was established in 1996. They are a part of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), which have been at the forefront of cancer treatment for over 20 years. As a CTCA facility, the Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center concentrates on providing aggressive combined treatments for cancer that are individualized for each patient.

CTCA and Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center Treatment Philosophy Any CTCA facility practices what they refer to as the “Mother Standard” of care. Think of this as the type of treatment we would want our own mothers to receive if she had cancer. This philosophy of care was started with the selection of the best oncologists who were challenged to provide “whole-person” cancer treatment.

The Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center practices this “whole-person” methodology by going beyond conventional care for cancer patients. This means combining the usual cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation with other therapies that complement these. This includes:

Nutritional support – The best nutrition lets your body function better, especially by improving the immune system.
Naturopathic medicine – One of the main goals of naturopathic medicine is to make use of nature’s healing powers to heal and then maintain good health.
Mind-body medicine – Mind-body medicine discovers the effect that the mind and emotions can have on the body and its immune system, and conversely, how the health of the body affects mind and emotions.
Oncology Rehabilitation – Helping a patient to rehabilitate after debilitating cancer treatments can help to get back physical ability and quality of life.
Pain Management – Acute and chronic pain can inhibit cancer treatments as well as affect a patient’s eating and sleep habits, mood, and immune system. The Seattle Cancer Center strives to help patients manage their pain in order to aid healing.
Spiritual Support – Cancer patients are often prone to lapses in faith and hope. CTCA facilities like the Seattle Cancer Center employ pastoral teams to help patients regain their faith.

The Seattle Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center treats almost all types of cancers including more uncommon forms like the asbestos-caused cancer, mesothelioma. Their whole-person treatment philosophy is well suited to patients with cancers that have no cure like mesothelioma. The conventional treatments combined with many of their other therapies, especially pain management, mind-body medicine, and spiritual support can help a terminal cancer patient be more comfortable and pain free in the time that they have left.

Treatments

The oncologists at the Seattle Cancer Treatment Center are steadily making progress in the cancer fight by using existing tools and treatments in new ways, or even finding new methods of treatment. For instance, for over 10 years they have been discovering the advantages of using lower dosages of chemotherapy and making the chemotherapy session more frequent. This fights the cancer but patients don’t suffer the often incapacitating side effects of the higher chemotherapy doses.

The Seattle Cancer Center has some of the first Board-certified naturopathic oncologists. They work along with medical oncologists to create personal treatment for each patient that includes traditional oncology treatments along with natural and holistic methods of cancer care.
