Welcome to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, America's first cancer center founded in 1898 by Dr. Roswell Park. Roswell Park is the only upstate New York facility to hold the National Cancer Institute designation of "comprehensive cancer center" and to serve as a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Over its long history, Roswell Park has made fundamental contributions to reducing the cancer burden and has successfully maintained an exemplary leadership role in setting the national standards for cancer care, research and education. We understand how frightening it is to hear “it’s cancer.” Before you make any surgery or treatment decisions, please spend just one day with us. For more information about Roswell Park and cancer in general, please contact us at 1-800-ROSWELL.
