Setting the Bar

Roswell Park physicians play a leadership role in developing the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines that specify the best ways of preventing, detecting and treating specific types of cancer.

Instant Access Appointments

Patients with suspected or newly-diagnosed anal cancer may have an initial evaluation within 24 hours. A team member will meet with you to outline further diagnostics, treatment or need for evaluation with the multidisciplinary team.

Our Pathologists are Game Changers

An accurate analysis by a pathologist is critical in determining the best approach to treatment. Our scientists analyze large numbers of specimens and review a high volume of cases. This expertise allows them to identify even slight variances, which may distinguish a highly treatable cancer from one that is more aggressive.
