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.

Higher Survival Rates by up to twenty five percent.

Studies show that patients who begin treatment at National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers like Roswell Park have survival rates up to 25% higher compared to patients treated at other facilities.

Research can change what happens next for you

Clinical trials are research 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.

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.

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.

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.
