Here is some information on proton therapy that may be helpful to you. If you have additional questions, please contact the Concierge Team or your personal Care Team. What is proton therapy?

Proton therapy is a next-generation radiation treatment that precisely targets tumors, with the goal of minimizing radiation to healthy tissue and improving the lives of patients with cancer. Proton therapy deposits the greatest amount of radiation right into the tumor and then stops, allowing patients to receive high doses with less risk of damage to nearby healthy tissue. This more targeted form of radiation is especially useful for childhood cancers, where the impact of excess, harmful radiation can cause long-term damage. Research shows proton therapy can minimize short- and long-term side effects, reduce the occurrence of secondary tumors and improve patients’ quality of life.

SCCA Proton Therapy Center 1570 North 115th Street, Seattle, WA 98133 888-645-6934 3-1 Who administers proton therapy?

Our doctors are medical faculty at the University of Washington and practice at SCCA as well as other UW Medicine sites, including UW Medicine Northwest Campus and Harborview Medical Center. Who can use proton therapy?

Precise targeting gives proton therapy a significant advantage over standard radiation therapy when treating tumors near vital organs. Studies have shown proton therapy is beneficial in treating a broad range of tumors, including those of the brain, central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck, left breast, lung, and prostate, as well as sarcomas and many childhood cancers. Proton Therapy for prostate cancer? Proton therapy is a great choice for prostate cancer due to its quality-of-life advantages and few side effects. Proton therapy for childhood cancers? Because it is so targeted, proton therapy can be particularly effective in treating children, who are more sensitive to the effects of radiation. The precision of protons means a reduced chance of radiation side-effects such as growth and developmental problems, as well as secondary tumors later in life. What is proton therapy like? It is safe, noninvasive and painless for most patients. It does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. Treatments are usually given five days a week, for a period of one to nine weeks. The total number of treatments needed depends on the location and size of the tumor. The actual treatment time is very short, but total daily treatment sessions last up to 30 minutes due to the time spent positioning the patient for this precise treatment. Why do we offer proton therapy?

SCCA has long been dedicated to excellence in cancer research, innovation, education, and patient treatment. A major focus of SCCA is to speed the transfer of new diagnostic and treatment techniques from the research setting to the patient while providing premier, patient-focused cancer care. When SCCA began evaluating the potential for a proton therapy center, there were only ten centers operating in the country, and none within one thousand miles of Seattle. Before the center in Seattle was built, patients experienced long waiting times for treatment and cross-country travel for access to care.

Patients who come to SCCA receive the latest research-based cancer therapies as well as cutting-edge treatments for a number of non-malignant diseases. Is proton therapy a new method of treatment?

As of 2020, more than 200,000 people worldwide have received proton therapy at centers in Europe, Asia and the United States. Proton therapy was first used to treat patients in 1955 in a research setting, but its use was limited because imaging techniques at the time could not accurately pinpoint tumors. The FDA approved proton therapy in 1988, following advances in imaging technology, such as CT, MRI and PET scans. The first hospital-based treatment center opened in California in 1990.

Expect exceptional patient care at the SCCA Proton Therapy Center. Here, you will experience the precision of proton therapy in a healing environment. Our dedicated team will look after your needs and concerns and your loved ones from first contact with the Center through follow-up care after your treatments are done. We are available to you and your doctors when you need us. Your Consultation Visit

You may have met with your doctor and nurse during your first consultation at the Center. They are members of your personal Care Team, which also includes the radiation therapists you will meet at the first treatment. Your personal Care Team will remain mostly the same throughout the course of treatment at the Center, and will remain involved in your follow-up care. Before Treatment Begins

During your consultation, your doctor may decide additional tests are necessary to plan your treatment, such as blood work, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Your Care Team nurse will help you coordinate and schedule any tests. If you do not have a local primary doctor, your nurse will make sure you get all the additional services and therapies you need.

Before your treatment begins, you will be given a photo name tag that should be worn each time you visit the Center. When you arrive for treatment, your name tag will be scanned to notify your treatment team that you are at the Center and ready for the appointment. Treatment Planning

After your consultation and any additional tests, you will be scheduled for a computed tomography (CT) scan at the Center. This will take up to two hours, including preparation time. Your nurse will also use this time to help you understand the treatment process.

You may have had a CT scan in the past to diagnose your tumor or for another medical reason, but this particular CT scan is necessary to gather images of your tumor and normal tissue from many angles so your doctor and dosimetrists can perform treatment simulation and planning.

We use these images to create a treatment plan specifically for you, with details on the exact dose of protons you need, precisely targeted to your tumor. Depending on the location of your tumor, you may receive a contrast agent, or dye, before your CT scan so the tumor is easier to see. The dye may be injected through an intravenous (IV) line, taken orally (by mouth) or administered through a catheter.

SCCA Proton Therapy Center 1570 North 115th Street, Seattle, WA 98133 888-645-6934 4-1 A radiation therapist will guide you through your CT scan (also referred to as “CT Simulation”). For more information on who is in your Care Team and what positions support your treatment, see the section of this guidebook entitled The Center. During your appointment, the radiation therapist will work closely with you to create an accurate and reproducible treatment position specific to your individual needs. This is achieved by use of special immobilization devices such as masks, leg molds, head rests, sponges, and pillows. The devices that are used are customizable and made just for you to ensure that you receive an accurate treatment.

Using your CT images, a team of proton therapy experts will develop an individual treatment plan for you, determining the number of treatments you need and the best technology for your care.

Scheduling Your Treatment Sessions

Once planning for treatment is completed, your treatment scheduler will tell you how many treatments are prescribed and schedule your first appointment. Most patients have therapy five days a week (excluding weekends and holidays) for 1 to 9 weeks, depending on the total number needed. Occasionally your doctor may order additional treatments or breaks in your regular treatment schedule. You will always be informed of any changes.

Your treatment scheduler will tell you when to arrive for your first appointment and provide any special instructions (for example, some patients need to come with full or empty bladder, or need to avoid wearing deodorant or lotions). You will need to come to the Center approximately 15 to 30 minutes early to complete any necessary preparations, such as changing into a gown and consuming specific amounts of fluid.

It is very important to follow the treatment schedule prescribed by your doctor. If you must cancel or reschedule a treatment, we will work to accommodate your medical needs. Please be on time for all appointments to avoid disrupting other patients’ schedules. Your Care Team will provide you with the appropriate number to call.

When you arrive for your treatment, you will be greeted by a member of your Care Team. You may be asked to change into a gown, robe and slippers provided by the Center. There are secure lockers for you to store your clothing or other personal belongings. During Your Treatment Sessions

Most patients do not feel pain or discomfort during proton therapy treatments. Members of your personal Care Team will assist you throughout the process.

You will lie on a treatment bed or sit in a treatment chair and your radiation therapists will make adjustments. Since proton therapy is precise, your treatment set-up must be very accurate. This is why we use the immobilization devices. You will be asked to lie still during the process and while the proton beam is on, which usually is about one minute. The Care Team will determine your proper positioning and you will be automatically moved into position before each treatment using an FDA-approved robotic positioning system.

During the actual treatment you will not feel or see the proton beam. You may hear some clicking from the equipment around you, but generally after a few treatment sessions the sounds go unnoticed. Your radiation therapists will need to leave the room at that time, but they watch you through a video monitor. They remain close by and can easily talk to you.

The entire session takes about 30 minutes. No recovery time is needed, and you may immediately return to your normal daily activities. There is no need to stay overnight in a hospital or remain at the Center after your treatment.

The system allows the Center staff to monitor the time of the treatment phase, from the point the patient enters and exits the building. This will assist us with identifying and trending data for our continuous commitment to providing our patients with the quality of care they deserve. It will assist with identifying patient needs and providing alerts if the needs are not being met. • The data does not leave the Center • The patient cannot be tracked outside of the Center • The data is not used for any commercial purpose, or any purpose unrelated to providing better patient care The RFID antenna is located in the patient badge. It does not emit any signal on its own. It is only active in the Center. It does not communicate any patient-related data, and there is no need to worry about carrying it outside the Center. The antenna just communicates its serial number, which is not associated with the patient name or any other personal information in a way that would compromise the patient’s privacy. Side Effects

Side effects from proton therapy vary based upon the disease site being treated and inherent patient sensitivity to radiation. Your doctor will discuss and explain any side effects you may experience from your treatment. Your nurse will help you manage these, but you should feel free to bring your concerns to your doctor or nurse at any time. Your nurse will give you an after hours physician phone number to call, if necessary. Please also see the Key Contacts section in this guidebook. Meeting with Your Doctor or Staff at the Center

Once a week (or every five treatments) you will meet with your radiation oncologist to discuss how your therapy is progressing. This is a good time to ask any questions you may have. In some cases, your doctor may order additional tests such as blood tests, CTs, MRIs, or other scans during your treatment. Your weekly meetings with your doctor are scheduled around treatment sessions, so there is no need to make an extra trip to the Center. An additional scan will be performed before you come back to the Center for your follow-up appointment, usually three months after your treatment is complete. Bringing Your Family or Loved One

We know how important it is to have the presence and support of those close to you. We encourage you to bring family and loved ones with you to the Center if you can. We offer many special services to make all our visitors feel at home:

• Additional educational materials • A children’s play room • iPads for use at the Center • A beverage bar • Regularly scheduled activities and events

About Seattle Cancer Care Alliance...... 6-1 About Seattle Children’s Hospital...... 6-1 About UW Medicine’s Northwest Campus ...... 6-2 Comprehensive Care

When you are receiving proton therapy, you may need other medical care. The Center is affiliated with UW Medicine to provide you with additional medical services, especially if you are not under the care of a local doctor or hospital. Seattle Children’s Hospital addresses the needs of children. About Seattle Cancer Care Alliance

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) is a cancer treatment center that unites doctors from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, UW Medicine, and Seattle Children’s. Our goal, every day, is to turn cancer patients into cancer survivors. Our purpose is to lead the world in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

At SCCA over 300 oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other clinicians treat thousands of patients for many types of cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancer. SCCA patients have access to the latest cancer treatments including stem cell and bone marrow transplantation, gene therapy, high-dose chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and other specialized therapies.

SCCA patients may be seen at the SCCA outpatient clinic on Lake Union or at UW Medical Center. Childhood cancer patients may be seen at the SCCA outpatient clinic and Seattle Children’s. If overnight hospital stays are necessary, adult patients go to UW Medical Center and childhood cancer patients go to Seattle Children’s. For more information visit www.seattlecca.org

SCCA has a clinic on UW Medicine’s Northwest Campus, very close to the SCCA Proton Therapy Center.
