Psychology & Psychiatry Consultation Service
Services are provided for SCCA patients with distress or other circumstances that complicate cancer care or reduce health and quality of cancer survival. Specialized medication, coping strategies, counseling, imagery, hypnosis, and behavioral techniques are some of the many options available for managing stress, depression, grief, anxiety, phobias, sleeping, fatigue, pain, nausea, eating, or sexual problems that are common during and after treatment.
Survivorship Program Services
The Survivorship Program offers clinical services supported in part by a LIVESTRONG Survivorship Centers of Excellence Network grant from the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Children are seen at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center through the ACCESS program. Adults can be seen at the SCCA through the MOST survivorship service or at several other survivor programs focused on breast, prostate, transplantation programs. The MOST program sees cancer survivors who have completed active treatment and are age 21 or older regardless of site of disease or medical center where their cancer was treated. Community-based centers in Alaska, Spokane, and at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle also provide clinical services for cancer survivors.
