Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, founded in 1898 in Buffalo, New York, is America's first cancer center. It operates with a singular focus on understanding and treating cancer through a combination of research and clinical care. The institution is one of just over 50 facilities in the United States to hold the designation of a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center, and it is the only one in upstate New York.
The center's work spans cancer research, clinical trials, and direct patient care. Its team consists of physicians, scientists, nurses, and support staff who combine cutting-edge research with clinical practice. The operational goal is to advance personalized approaches to cancer treatment to help patients live longer, healthier lives.
