Get to Know Dr. Ryan F. Holbrook

Dr. Ryan Holbrook has worked for almost two decades at Cancer Care Northwest in Spokane, Washington, where he served two years as practice president from 2015 to 2017.

He has been credited with being the first surgeon in the Pacific Northwest to utilize the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy procedure, known as HIPEC, which is used after surgery to kill remaining cancer cells to help patients survive their battles with abdominal cancers such as mesothelioma. Holbrook has been using HIPEC for almost 20 years, spanning more than 350 patients.

A leader in his field for many years, Holbrook has received the Best Doctors in America Award annually since 2003.
