The International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) is increasingly called upon to contribute to global policy discussions shaping the future of cancer care. Our members bring diverse expertise and perspectives from every region of the world, ensuring that the unique needs and challenges of gynecologic cancers remain visible on local, national, and international agendas.

As we respond to these opportunities, we keep the global burden of gynecologic cancers at the forefront. By providing expert commentary and recommendations, IGCS helps guide equitable strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship care.
