When cancer patients need a precise diagnosis or a second opinion, they rely on the expertise of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. Often called the “most important doctors you’ll never meet,” pathologists play a critical behind-the-scenes role to ensure proper staging and grading of disease, allowing care teams to develop personalized treatment plans. Acknowledging their dedication, Carl Morrison, MD, DVM, Chair of the Department, has recently announced several promotions within his team.

Samaritan Medical Center and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, N.Y., have announced a new affiliation, linking medical oncology services provided at Samaritan’s Walker Center for Cancer Care with the Roswell Park Care Network. The new affiliation will offer cancer patients in the North Country region access to the latest approaches and best practices in cancer treatment to enhance the quality of medical oncology services available locally.
