Summit Highlights
Gynecologic Cancer Literacy (Parts 1 & 2)
We will cover all the basics of gynecologic cancers—including symptoms and risks, early detection, and treatment options—and increase gynecologic cancer literacy through expert presentations on genetic testing and molecular diagnostics, the breast cancer link, and patient rights. Additionally, panelists will cover clinical trials, promising studies, and breaking news.
Survivorship Primer: Quality of Life Matters
We will talk about survivorship—quality of life—with a focus on palliative care (comfort care) as a part of the continuum of care; self-care, nutrition, meditation and other stress relievers; and the importance of documenting one’s health history and journey.
Empowered through Patient Advocacy
Through advocacy, survivors/patients, caregivers, families, and communities worldwide are empowered. We will share examples—as inspiration and how-to examples—of patient advocacy in action. Powerful!
Cancer Site-Specific Breakout Sessions
Moderated cancer site-specific breakout sessions will allow participants to focus on site-specific issues and to network.
All panels will include patient/survivor panelists.
Optional After-Summit Chat/Networking Session
If you have a few minutes to chat and network after the Summit panels, we invite you to share your experience, continue the discussion of panel topics, make new “friends,” and otherwise network.

2021-11-25 - 2021-11-27 | Royal Golden Jubilee Building, Soi Phetchaburi 47, Bang Kapi, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok, 10310, Thailand
The 7th Biennial Meeting of the Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology (ASGO 2021) will be held on November 25th to 27th in Bangkok! ASGO was established by leaders of Japanese and Korean gynecologists in consideration of the need for an Asian regional society dedicated to gynecologic cancer, and held its first meeting in Seoul in 2008. At present, gynecological oncology societies from 11 countries and regions are participating, and it has become a truly unified organization. While six biennial meetings and six international workshops have been held so far, ASGO 2021 is the first biennial meeting to be held outside of Japan and Korea, which makes it very significant. Furthermore, ASGO 2021 may be the first ever congress in the history of ASGO, which is difficult to steer and take measures to combat COVID-19. Now is the time to take pride in the unity of Asian countries and to show the world the development of gynecological oncology in Asia.

IMPROVING ACCESS TO SCREENING TO PREVENT HPV-RELATED CANCER
Live Event: Friday, March 3rd, 2023 at 16:00-17:00 CET (Geneva)

The International Papillomavirus Society (IPVS) cordially invites you to participate in our live, free webinar on Friday, March 3rd, 2023 to commemorate International HPV Awareness Day Campaign 2023 and to celebrate the mobilization of effort around the world to eliminate HPV and prevent HPV-cancer.
Join our panel of knowledge leaders from the world of clinical practice, policy and patient advocacy to explore strategies and priorities to advance access to screening as part of a global strategy to prevent HPV-related cancer.
Each year roughly 600,000 people across the world are diagnosed with one of the six identified types of HPV-related cancer. Cervical cancer alone takes the lives of over 300,000 women per year, a statistic that is even more devastating because it is largely preventable.
Screening is a critical cancer prevention tool and cervical screening is one of three pillars identified in the WHO global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer. However, there are significant gaps in access to screening – both domestically and globally. Delivering effective cervical screening programs and crucially, being able to follow up with effective preventive treatment, requires a level of health system development that poses particular challenges to healthcare systems particularly in low-income communities.
Innovative approaches and new technologies are emerging with the potential to reduce HPV-related cancer burden not just for cervical cancer, but also anal and head and neck cancer. Capitalizing on the opportunities these provide, in addition to concerted action to improve access to cervical screening will be key to reducing the global cancer burden and achieving global goals on non-communicable disease.
This panel will explore strategies to support equitable access to screening for cervical cancer and opportunities in relation screening to prevent other HPV related cancers.
