Survivorship Program
We offer services to help you manage the physical and emotional effects of your cancer diagnosis — including acupuncture, massage, mindfulness meditation, nutritional support, physical and occupational therapy, and much more. Specialists in the center can help you deal with such issues as chronic pain and fatigue. They will also develop a personalized survivorship plan specifying the care you will need to stay healthy after treatment has ended.
The 11 Day Power Play Cancer Resource Center and Elevate Salon
The Resource Center is where patients and their families can find information, comfort, support and connection, as well as guidance in navigating hair loss throughout their cancer journeys.
We are pleased to offer our complimentary Wig and Head Covering Program at the Elevate Salon for our patients and patients in the WNY area undergoing cancer treatment and experiencing hair loss. For more information, please call 716-845-8659, option 2.
Our programs and services are funded by the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, thanks to generous donations.
Young Adult Cancer Program
The Young Adult Cancer Program offers a range of supportive services, networking opportunities and social events designed specifically for cancer patients and survivors in their 20s and 30s.
Oncofertility Program
Our Oncofertility Program provides information and guidance about the potential impact your cancer and its treatment may have on your sexual health and fertility and your options for preserving it. We also help our patients and survivors with intimacy concerns and sexual dysfunction.
Assessment & Treatment Center (ATC)
This center provides medical evaluation and treatment to our current patients with urgent, but not life-threatening, symptoms. The ATC is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ATC is not an emergency room and does not accept walk-ins; you must be referred by your Roswell Park physician or the physician-on-call.
Specialized dental care
Good oral health is especially important for leukemia patients, because some cancer treatments can cause dental complications. Our Department of Oral Oncology will monitor your oral health before, during and after treatment, to help prevent and manage any complications.
