Awards and Recognition
PLUVICTO®: Transformative Treatment for Prostate Cancer
PLUVICTO® treats metastatic prostate cancer in patients who developed resistance to other standard treatments. Now, patients don’t need to undergo chemotherapy prior to being eligible for PLUVICTO®.
A targeted radioligand therapy, PLUVICTO® reaches cancer cells throughout the body while preserving healthy cells, helping to reduce tumor burden and alleviate symptoms.
Low Dose Radiation Therapy: Safe, Quick Relief for Joint Pain
Low dose radiation therapy (LDRT) is a noninvasive treatment that uses minimal amounts of radiation to target inflammation in joints affected by osteoarthritis. This proven treatment helps relieve joint pain and improve mobility, while remaining compatible with future joint surgeries.
LDRT consists of six 10-minute outpatient sessions over 1-3 weeks. With no downtime and minimal side effects, LDRT is an ideal procedure for:
- Knee, hip, elbow, foot, hand and shoulder pain
- Patients over the age of 50
- Patients seeking an alternative to surgery or medication
- Persistent joint pain despite other treatments
LDRT is often covered by Medicare and most insurance plans; some insurers may require a physician referral while others allow self-referrals.
We’re recognized as an Accreditation Program of Excellence (APEx) by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of care and safety.
The Puget Sound’s Destination for Expert Cancer Care

We’re one of two health care systems in Washington state that provide CAR T-cell therapy and one of a few programs nationally that provides histotripsy, a treatment that destroys tumors without surgery.
Patients have access to hundreds of clinical trials involving most cancer types. We are often among the first in the U.S. to provide access to Phase 1 trials — the first stage of evaluating treatments in humans.
