Because you matter,
Research Matters
Cancer research here means better care for you.
When you receive care at a center that is leading cancer research, you benefit from the latest treatments and the expertise of doctors who develop them. This means you may have access to new therapies you can't get elsewhere.
Studies show that patients who begin treatment at National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers like Roswell Park have higher survival rates — up to 25% higher — compared to patients treated at other facilities.
Research can change what happens next for you.
Clinical trials are studies that test new ways to treat cancer. They may give you access to new treatment options. Roswell Park offers more than 300 clinical trials for many different types of cancer, and new trials open every day. We can help you learn whether a clinical trial is right for you.
Hear from our patients how research gave them a new hope
I didn’t hesitate at all about going on the clinical trial. I had a gene mutation which made my cancer grow faster, and the trial offered a new drug that blocked it. This treatment was first available only at Roswell Park.
Roswell Park research delivers
As the nation’s first cancer research center, Roswell Park has discovered, developed and pioneered new ways to fight cancer for more than 125 years.
You have time for a second opinion. We can help.
I reminded myself that I have only have one life and it's worth fighting for! I decided I at least owed myself a consultation at Roswell Park and then I could make an informed decision. Given the results, I would have flown back and forth if I needed to.
Our scientists — more than 1,140 working in 175 laboratories — strive every day to find better ways to prevent, detect, treat and cure cancer. Meet some of them.

The need for better cancer care — precision drugs with fewer side effects, technologies to make complex surgery less invasive or even unnecessary, and new approaches such as gene-engineered cell therapies that boost your immune system — remains urgent. We keep this momentum moving forward.
