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. As members of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), we’re part of a group of elite cancer centers that continually review the latest medical literature to raise the standard of cancer care. Our physicians sit on several NCCN panels that determine best practices for clinical care and write the treatment guidelines used throughout the world. Mission: Our mission is to eliminate cancer’s grip on humanity by unlocking its secrets through personalized approaches and unleashing the healing power of hope.
