Center for Translational Research on Cannabis and Cancer
The Center for Translational Research on Cannabis and Cancer (CTRCC) at Roswell Park launched in 2021, with the goal to understand if, to what extent, and how cannabis and cannabinoid use impacts the health and well-being of individuals and the community they live in.
“We work to provide our community with scientific evidence and evidence-based practiced that optimize the therapeutic applications and minimize health risks of cannabis use as it related to cancer prevention, care and public health.”
