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.
Comprehensive services
We provide a full menu of services — all in one location — for diagnosing and treating cancer and helping survivors live healthy lives after treatment has ended. Programs include rehabilitation therapy, lymphedema care, dental care and maxillofacial prosthetics, palliative care, pain management, psychological support, clinical genetics counseling, nutrition assistance and many others. Patients may also take advantage of such complementary therapies as massage, acupuncture, reiki and aromatherapy.
Treatment the Roswell Park way
Cancer affects people in different ways. Often the diagnosis itself causes emotional distress. Treatment may cause side effects. Some people may need assistance with financial or legal matters related to their diagnosis. That’s why Roswell Park provides care for the whole person. While our surgical, medical and radiation oncologists treat the disease, our patients can also rely on a team of psychologists, social workers, dietitians and other professionals, who work together to provide a full spectrum of integrated care — all under one roof. We know every patient is unique. That’s why we deliver the highest-quality care, with a treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
