Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center

Roswell Park was recognized in 1972 as one of the first three NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. Founded in 1898, Roswell Park was the first institution in the world to focus exclusively on cancer research. Its mission was expanded later to include patient care, cancer prevention, and education.

Today, tens of thousands of patients are in active care at Roswell Park, where they have access to the most advanced treatments as well as a full menu of support and wellness services. Roswell Park collaborates with the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital of Buffalo to treat pediatric patients with cancer and blood disorders.
