Welcome
Tacoma/Valley Radiation Oncology Centers is a cancer treatment center with
three locations in Pierce County. Established in 1979, we have
two facilities in Tacoma and one in Puyallup at Good Samaritan Cancer
Center. In addition, we are affiliated with Capital Radiation Oncology. With more than two decades of experience treating western
Washington patients, Tacoma/Valley Radiation Oncology Centers have
become recognized leaders in providing high quality, personalized
cancer care.
Our multi-disciplinary team of health professional staff offer radiation
treatment options for patients with many types of cancer. Our patients
are usually referred to us so that we may determine if his or her
condition can be helped by radiation treatments. If radiation treatments
are indicated, our radiation oncologists plan the best possible way to
administer the treatment.
Please explore this site to not only find out more
about Tacoma/Valley Radiation Oncology Centers, but to also find out
more about oncology in general. We have extensive information about
cancer and its
treatment, as well as frequently asked questions.
Because cancer is a life-altering occurrence, we have included
links to the latest news in cancer care, as well as to support programs
and national organizations. We encourage you to read through this
information and consider joining a support group. Remember - you're not
in this alone.
