Ovarian Cancer Patient Committee
Awareness Campaign
Every year on May 8, we celebrate the World Ovarian Cancer Day. Throughout the whole month we run an awareness campaign on all ENGAGe social media to raise awareness. The campaign is developed from the start in cooperation with the Ovarian Cancer Patient Committee, who give us their valuable insights and they themselves are then the faces of the whole campaign. This year the themes were symptoms of ovarian cancer, the importance of doctors listening to their patients, and the power of patients advocating for themselves.
ESGO Guidelines
We believe that patient perspective is one of the most important things in gynae onco care. That is why more and more we are including our members in the development of ESGO Guidelines. Several members of this group have been part of the development of the ESGO Ovarian cancer surgical guidelines update 2025.
