Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Cancer is the most dangerous threat to firefighter health and safety today, surpassing cardiac related deaths. To help address and reduce these risks, the Buffalo Fire Department and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center have teamed up to develop an ongoing initiative to keep first responders safe.
Roswell Park, Buffalo Fire Department and Buffalo Professional Firefighters Local 282 have established a cancer prevention committee that meets regularly to keep these important issues at the forefront of the fire service, and have also collaborated to establish a three-pronged approach for reducing risks. The collaboration represents an extension of the First Responders Screening Program Roswell Park launched in late 2020. The program provides a physical, lab tests, bloodwork, comprehensive skin cancer screening and imaging for eligible individuals. Since the program’s inception, Roswell Park has screened more than 250 first responders. Early detection of cancer is a key factor in improving better survival, quality of life and access to more effective treatment options.
