General information
Programme
We are excited to once again offer our participants the chance to learn directly from leading ESGO experts in gynaecological oncology.
On Friday, through a series of scientific lectures, we will follow the patient pathway - beginning with topics related to diagnosis, moving through treatment, and covering essential topics such as recurrence and also quality of life.
On Saturday, the spotlight shifts more to patient advocacy topics, with sessions designed to support and strengthen the work of our ENGAGe members.
Designed to be interactive and inspiring, the programme adapts ESGO’s scientific lectures for exclusive delivery to ENGAGe members, fostering an environment for questions, discussion, and meaningful dialogue.
