  Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is an institution in the Cascade neighborhood of Seattle, Washington engaged in scientific research towards the prevention and treatment of cancer.
The Hutch, as it is known locally, grew out of the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation, founded in 1956 by Dr. William Hutchinson, which was dedicated to the study of heart surgery, cancer, and diseases of the endocrine system.
The FHCRC split off from its parent foundation in 1972, and the physical center was opened in 1975.

 Thyroid Cancer Risk Rises With Radiation Dose, Study Finds
The incidence of thyroid cancer was 45 times greater among those who received the highest radiation dose as compared to those in the lowest-dose group, according to a team of American and Russian researchers led by Scott Davis, Ph.D., and colleagues at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
The Fred Hutchinson team organized a collaborative effort with a dozen scientists at four Russian institutions to conduct this research: the Medical Radiological Research Center (in Obninsk), the Byransk Diagnostic Center and the Bryansk Institute of Pathology (both in Bryansk), and the National Center of Hematology (in Moscow).
Working through a local cancer registry, the researchers identified 26 people with thyroid cancer who were less than 20 years old when the Chernobyl accident occurred; the majority were under 16 when their thyroid cancers were diagnosed.

Although the doors to the Center opened in 1975, the history of the Center actually began in 1956 with the vision of Seattle surgeon Dr. William Hutchinson, brother of baseball hero Fred Hutchinson.
After Dr. Hutchinson's beloved brother Fred died of cancer in 1964, the idea took shape, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center was established in 1965 as the cancer division of the Foundation.
During the next few years, researchers from all over the world came to work with Dr. Thomas to do what most people were convinced would never work -- to cure cancer by transplanting human bone marrow after lethal doses of chemotherapy and radiation.
