Nothing about cancer is easy. But at Roswell Park, we’ll help make your travel from Canada worth every kilometer.
You need an expert in brain tumors
At Roswell Park, you’ll be seen by a team who specializes in brain tumors. From the ultra rare to the more common, malignant or benign, we have deep experience in diagnosing and treating the more than one hundred types of brain tumors. Seeking care at a National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer center means you can take comfort in knowing that your physicians and care teams are among the most experienced and knowledgeable in their fields.
Why spend a day at Roswell Park?
We are literally just blocks from the Canadian-United States border at the Peace Bridge. Spending just one day in Buffalo to meet with the experts at Roswell Park could mean clarity or even a change in your diagnosis, more treatment options personalized to your individual needs, and most importantly, more hope.
Our nationally recognized specialists have vast experience in every type of brain tumor.
We review all pathology from outside Roswell Park and in 11 to 18% of cases, the diagnosis is changed, impacting your way forward.
You’ll have access to the latest emerging drugs and therapies, like Gamma knife radiosurgery, that you can’t get everywhere.
I can’t say enough about everyone at Roswell Park. I could see the passion of every member of my team. They were doing everything they could to make sure I was OK and taken care of. There’s something special going on there.
