About Swedish Cancer Institute
Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI) opened in 1932 as the first dedicated cancer-care center west of the Mississippi River. Since then, it has grown to become the largest, most comprehensive cancer treatment program in the Pacific Northwest. The Institute has a presence on all three of Swedish's hospital campuses as well as in East King County through a medical oncology clinic near Issaquah. A true multidisciplinary program, SCI offers a wide range of advanced cancer-treatment options in chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery - backed by extensive diagnostic capabilities, patient education and support-group services. The Institute's clinical-research arm includes industry-sponsored and cooperative group therapeutic trials, cancer screening and prevention trials, and investigator-initiated trials. Breast-cancer screening and diagnostics are available through the Swedish Breast Care Centers and two state-of-the-art mobile mammography coaches. Swedish radiation therapy is also offered at various Puget Sound-area community hospitals including Stevens Hospital (Edmonds), Valley Medical Center (Renton), Highline Community Hospital (Burien), and Northwest Hospital (North Seattle).
