Patient Events Calendar
We offer a wide range of activities, events, support groups and more that take place daily across our campus for both patients and caregivers.
We understand the worry and confusion that comes with a diagnosis of cancer. In addition to comprehensive medical care, Roswell Park provides a comprehensive range of support services to help you cope with the physical, emotional, practical and day-to-day concerns related to your illness, treatment and lifelong wellness. We hope that our ovarian cancer patients and their families find these resources helpful.

Sexual Health Clinic
Cancer and cancer treatment impact the ability to interact intimately in a number of ways. This clinic addresses issues such as low libido, pain with sex, anxiety, depression, body image, changes in anatomy or function of the genitals, breasts or skin, and other factors that affect sexual life.
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.
Familial ovarian cancer registry
Learning more about how ovarian cancer runs in families and which genes may be involved is important to discovering new ways to prevent, detect and treat the disease. Roswell Park founded this registry to track and store data from women nationwide to help cancer researchers identify ovarian cancer-associated genes and improve genetic and psychosocial counseling for these patients.
Women over age 18 with a family history of ovarian cancer are encouraged to join the Registry. For more information, call 1-800-OVARIAN (1-800-682-7426) weekdays from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. EST.
Survivorship care
We want to help you make life after cancer the best it can be! Our survivorship team can help you build a plan that is specific to you and your journey, creating a clear map for the road ahead.
