Roswell Park conducted some of the earliest studies linking smoking to lung cancer. Roswell Park developed the PSA test for prostate‑cancer screening. Roswell Park developed photodynamic therapy (PDT), approved by the FDA for the treatment of esophageal cancer and non‑small cell lung cancer, and precancerous lesions in patients with Barrett's esophagus. Roswell Park is now developing the second generation of PDT drugs. Roswell Park geneticists created the gene library used to map and sequence the human genome. An Roswell Park geneticist was part of the research team involved in the international effort.
