Chemotherapy

When you need outpatient chemotherapy treatment for cancer, having expert care that’s close to home can go a long way toward relieving your stress. Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Cancer Care provides chemotherapy at infusion clinics throughout the Puget Sound area.

We take a multidisciplinary approach to developing a personalized treatment plan for each individual. If chemotherapy is part of your treatment plan:

• Your oncologist (cancer doctor) prescribes the appropriate chemotherapy medications to treat your specific cancer condition. The frequency and length of your treatment will depend on your specific medications and dosages, and your oncologist will discuss your treatment plan with you.
• Our pharmacy specialists prepare medications specifically for your individual needs.
• Our oncology nurses, most of whom are nationally certified by the Oncology Nursing Society, administer your chemotherapy treatments at our infusion clinics.

Additional services offered at our infusion clinics include:

• Blood and blood product transfusions
• Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
• Catheter maintenance and education
• IV antibiotics and hydration
• Therapeutic phlebotomy
• Targeted biotherapy
