Cancer is our only focus
Founded in 1898, Roswell Park was the first center in the world to focus exclusively on cancer. Our patients receive cancer care in disease-site specific clinical centers at our state-of-the-art facilities. Our multidisciplinary teams of experts — board-certified surgical, medical and radiation oncologists —collaborate to ensure each patient’s treatment evaluates all options, follows evidence-based best practices, is optimally coordinated, and delivered with compassion and respect.
The most advanced treatments
Roswell Park was one of the first institutions in the nation to be recognized by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a comprehensive cancer center. That means we provide expert cancer care and conduct top-tier research aimed at finding ways to prevent and cure cancer, with NCI support. Three major studies have found that long-term survival rose from 6% to 20% overall, as well as within specific cancer types, for patients who were treated from the start at NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers, compared with those treated elsewhere.
