Please don’t delay necessary cancer screenings. Early detection saves lives. Don’t wait - get screened.
Though not a replacement for the colonoscopy, the Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center offers a free FDA-cleared test called a FIT, which stands for Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT). The test checks for hidden blood in your stool. The test is non-invasive and can be completed in the privacy of your home in as little as 5 minutes. If you are between the ages of 45-75 and would like to see if a FIT makes sense for you, please call 509-737-3422 for more information.
We offer a free mammogram coupon program to uninsured women who do not qualify for the Washington Breast and Cervical Health Program. The coupon is valid for screening or diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound per doctor’s order. The Mammogram Coupon Program is available at any time. If you are an uninsured woman, please ask for a referral from your primary care physician.
Men, if you are between the ages of 50-69 and are at average risk, have a conversation with your primary care physician to determine if screening for prostate cancer is appropriate for you.
Please speak with your primary care physician to determine if screening is appropriate for you.
Please speak with your primary care physician or gynecologist to determine appropriate screening.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and impact your life in a variety of ways. At the Tri-Cities Cancer Center, we understand that cancer care is more than treating a disease. So in addition to state-of-the-art technology, we also provide comprehensive support services to help you cope, recover, and move forward.
Our navigation team consists of oncology nurse navigators, social workers, a registered dietician and patient support services. Oncology nurse navigators help patients and their families understand, access and coordinate cancer care and necessary services. Our licensed social workers provide assessments and case management to patients and their families related to illness adjustment and coping mechanisms. These services are completely free. Stop by the Resource Center or call 509-783-9894 for an appointment.

Warrior Sisterhood’s goal is to empower local women with cancer or a cancer-related diagnosis. There’s no age requirement to join, but many women in the group are trying to balance a job, family and busy life along with their endless medical appointments and fears about a recurrence.
The Resource Center at the Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center is open to all cancer patients in our region, regardless of where they are being treated. The intent is to assist patients in looking and feeling the best possible during their cancer journey.
Often, the side effects of cancer treatment can leave patients feeling down and self-conscious. Through the Resource Center, a number of services and resources are available at no cost.
Please call 509-737-3432 for additional information or to schedule appointments.

Overcoming cancer and achieving survivorship is a milestone accomplishment. But when treatment is over many patients ask, “what’s next?” Our survivorship clinic provides survivorship care to patients of the Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center, as well as provide support to all three local hospital systems and their oncology patients.
In our Survivorship Clinic, we work with patients to:
- Manage and identify side effects of treatment
- Discuss potential long-term complications from treatment
- Educate patients on how to avoid, as well as detect, a cancer recurrence
- Encourage the development of healthy habits for overall health and well-being
In short, our Survivorship Clinic assists patients in achieving the best possible quality, and length, of life after treatment.
The Survivorship Clinic provides the bridge between a patient’s oncology team and their primary care provider. This is a critical element of survivorship. We work closely with each patient, and their providers, to be sure everyone has a good understanding of the patient’s unique needs.
Life after cancer just got even better. Ask your provider to refer you to the Survivorship Clinic at the Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center.
For additional information please call 509-737-3418.

Radiation Technology
The Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center continually invests in cutting edge radiation oncology technology, keeping patients close to home for their treatment and care.
Industry leader, Varian Medical Systems, has developed both of our treatment systems: The Edge radiosurgery system and the Trilogy stereotactic system.
Both systems offer radiosurgery, which opens the door for treatment options for patients who may not have had other options. Radiosurgery gives medical professionals new tools for treating more types of cancer and other conditions.
