Our World Class Center
Recognized by the National Cancer Institute as one of the nation’s elite comprehensive cancer centers, we offer physicians who are leaders in the field, state-of-the-art treatment facilities and the resources you need from diagnosis to survivorship.
- Studies show that patients who are treated at high-volume, academic comprehensive cancer centers like Roswell Park have superior overall survival compared to those treated at other types of hospitals.
- A Center of Excellence for Transplant, if you need a stem cell transplant, now or in the future, you’ll be in good hands in our Transplant & Cellular Therapy Center. Roswell Park was among the first centers in the world to routinely offer transplant, and today, our team has pioneered strategies that make outcomes for this critical potential cure better than ever.
A nationally recognized expert who helps set the standards
Eunice Wang, MD, Roswell Park’s Chief of Leukemia, is among the experts who serve on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) panel that develops the guidelines used around the world for the diagnosis and treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
Our cutting-edge therapies
We offer the latest treatments at the forefront of cancer care, plus clinicians with the knowledge and experience to use them. Your best options for leukemia treatment may include:
- Clinical trials of the latest emerging options. If you’re diagnosed with leukemia, you can’t wait six to 12 months for the FDA to approve a drug; you need it now. In a recent 2-year period, nine new therapies were approved by the FDA for the treatment of leukemia and patients at Roswell Park had early access to seven of these through clinical trials here.
- Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. This groundbreaking treatment collects cancer-killing T-cells from the patient, engineers and multiplies them in a laboratory and infuses them back into the patient to fight the cancer.
Comprehensive supportive care
We offer a broad range of support services to care for you, not just your cancer, including nutrition services, physical therapy, tobacco cessation, acupuncture, spiritual care, counseling, music, art and pet therapy, and more.
- Young Adult program to help patients in their 20s and 30s cope with the unique challenges of facing cancer at this stage of life.
- Workshops, massages, movement classes and more. Check out The 11 Day Power Play Cancer Resource Center on the first floor of the hospital by the Tower elevators to learn about our offerings.
- Survivorship program that focuses on your quality of life, personalizing post-treatment medical care, nutrition, emotional support and wellness.
