Our collaboration with Seattle Cancer Care Alliance gives you access to SCCA's world-renowned research and educational support, Plus the strength of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of Washington Medicine, And Seattle Children’s

Treatments/Procedures

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, you may have many questions about the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options. Your oncology team will help with those questions.

What kinds of treatments are there?

The treatment of cancer often includes multiple forms such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and biological therapy.

How is treatment determined?

Factors such as the type and stage of the cancer, your overall health, and your personal views about healthcare will determine which treatment is right for you. Each cancer type can respond differently to different types of treatment. Your cancer care team will work with you to decide which treatment options are right for your unique situation.

Are Clinical Trials Available?

Yes. Clinical trials for cancer and blood disorders are available to patients in the Tri-Cities community through our clinic. Our collaboration with  Seattle Cancer Care Alliance means that our patients have access to a wide variety of research trials through Fred Hutchinson Research, University of Washington Medicine, and Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Do you coordinate care with my doctor?

We coordinate your care locally with your primary care physician, surgeon and hospital. We also provide coordinated and collaborative service as a network member of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. This gives you and CBHO direct access to the experts at the University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children’s.

How do I make an appointment?

If you’ve been newly diagnosed with cancer, you can contact our new patient referral department at 509-460-4630 to make an appointment

What if I’ve started treatment and I have a concern?

If you need assistance with your care, a triage nurse is available during regular clinic hours to answer questions or concerns that may arise between visits.  Just dial 509-783-0144 and ask for the triage nurse.  If the nurse is not available, please leave a message and your call will be returned before the end of the day. Messages left after 4:00 pm may not be returned until the next business day. If you have an urgent medical concern after hours, please call our office and the answering service will notify your physician or the physician on call if yours is not available.
If you have a medical emergency please go to the emergency room or call 911.

What amenities are available during my treatment?

Each treatment bay has a flat screen TV, DVD player, and Wi-Fi for internet. There is a complimentary refreshment area including an assortment of beverages and snacks. A small library of videos are available for viewing or you can bring your own DVDs.
