About

 

 


 

Seattle Integrative Cancer Center is an integrative cancer treatment facility where innovative and cutting edge oncology, such as metronomic chemotherapy, immunotherapy and gene-targeted therapy are integrated with supportive naturopathic oncology, nutrition and other complementary therapies.  Our exceptionally experienced care provides patients with opportunities of both beating the cancer and living a good quality of life through their journey. We are often described by our patients as being "out of box" or "ahead of the curve" for our relentless effort to help them find the best comprehensive treatment approaches in the world. The often outstanding treatment results even for patients who had failed conventional treatments are testimonies to the success of our approach. We are pioneers in the clinical utilization of metronomic chemotherapy, a better tolerated and more effective way of giving chemotherapy that has anti-angiogenic effect on tumor and can re-program the immune system for more effective cancer control. Additionally this type of chemotherapy has more consistent anti-tumor activity. In synergy with this treatment, we provide science-based naturopathic complementary medicine that also boosts the patient's immune system and further decreases the treatment side effects. With this fully integrated treatment model our patients routinely achieve excellent responses to treatments with survivals that often far exceed common expectations.

    Dr. Chen has been my oncologist for 4 years now. I am into my 6th year of Stage 4 hormone positive, her2 negative breast cancer. After being treated by 5 other oncologists in the U.S. Dr. Chen has not only found treatments that the other doctors have not considered but were unable to administer due to guidelines imposed upon them. Since the center is integrative, a variety of treatments are utilized to increase the immune system, protect the body during chemotherapy and increase your quality of life. Dr. Chen has not only extended my life but has saved my life a few times now. He is an amazing doctor with compassion for human life and I am eternally grateful!

    Best open minded doctor I have ever had. Thank God he stayed in the area. He puts his patients health and well being at the front. He takes time to explain things well. I have never felt like just a number in his day. Thank you Dr. Chen

    Dr. Chen is the most creative out of the box oncologist anyone could hope for. He is diligent and he is on top of my cancer. I have full confidence in him because he is a master at diagnosing and treating any cancer. He has solved difficult cancers that other doctors could not solve, including pancreatic cancer. I have referred others to him with great results. I highly recommend him! Dr. Roger Libby

    Dr. Chen is one of my true life heroes and I am so grateful he is my physician. He thinks out of the box and treats cancer metronomically with chemotherapy and works to build up the immune system. He works with naturopath oncologists and treats the whole person, not just a diagnosis. God bless this true physician healer, for he is a blessing to all of us, his patients.

    Five years ago, when I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive carcinoma with lymphatic involvement, my husband and I researched lived in Central California. We researched cancer treatment centers and cancer care practitioners throughout the West Coast. We concluded that Dr. Chen provided the best and most effective treatment available. We flew from Central California to Seattle for 24 weeks to be treated by Dr. Chen. The result was that I was cancer-free for 5 years. Now that I've been diagnosed with a different type of aggressive cancer, we have moved to Seattle to be treated by Dr. Chen. He offers hope and effective care for all kinds of patients with all types of cancer.

    My wife and I flew to Seattle from Central California every week for 24 weeks to be treated by Dr. Chen. We did extensive research before concluding that Dr. Chen was providing the most effective cancer treatment in the Western U.S. We actually moved to the Seattle area 1-1/2 years ago to be closer to the level of care provided by Dr. Chen and his staff.

    This Doc saved my life after all the others told me I was dead in 6 months or less from triple negative breast cancer that was pretty advanced. Using a combination of conventional medicine, naturalpathic medicine and high dose vitamin C, 9 years later I'm still alive! Unlike other clinics I've worked with where naturalpathic is just a marketing gimmick to get us in the door, Chen really does work with the the ND for a complete and truly holistic approach to his patients care.

    I have been a patient of Dr Chen's for 10 1/2 years. He has treated me successfully through 2 bouts of stage 4 breast cancer. This second time I've been in remission for about 3 1/2 years. I'm a statistical wonder. The unique approach of Dr Chen, coupled with the expertise of Dr Gignac, naturopath has given me victory over cancer and a quality life. Even when I was going through chemo, I didn't feel too bad because of gentle and effective approach Dr Chen uses. It's like being treated in a boutique with caring and friendly staff.

    Dr Chen was able to save my life when previous doctors said there was no hope, and that I had only 3 months to live even with interventions. We are thankful for his experience and patient CARE!

    After being told to continue hormone therapy for four months before starting chemotherapy my wife and I decided to seek a second opinion. We live in a small town in Idaho so coming to Tukwila for treatment is a considerable distance. After finding Dr. Chen on the Internet, we called for an appointment, and we seen promptly for a consult with both he and Dr. Gignac who is a Naturopath. The result was I started chemotherapy the very next week for a 12 week regimin. My progress was carefully monitored, and significant cancer cells were killed. I am doing very well, I owe this to both doctors. I am very satisfied with the professionalism of Dr. Chen and plan on continuing my treatment with him.
