2022 WNY Cancer Progress Report from Roswell Park

One of the core focuses of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Department of Cancer Prevention & Control is to assess the impact of cancer across Western New York (WNY). This team has compiled a new resource to report to the community those cancers that are most prevalent, documenting noteworthy changes in cancer incidence, deaths from cancer and variations in these trends among people of different races or ethnicities.

In “WNY Cancer Snapshot: 2022,” Roswell Park reports that while cancer incidence generally remains higher in this region than in the state and nationwide, both diagnoses of late-stage cancer and deaths from cancer are decreasing in this community as a whole, largely as a result of effective outreach and education from Roswell Park and other organizations over the past decade to help people reduce cancer risk and improve access to cancer screening and treatment.
