Since 2017, the International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Gynecologic Oncology Global Fellowship Program has grown into a truly global model for sustainable mentorship and training in gynecologic oncology. What began as a bold vision to train specialists within their home institutions is now a network of leaders strengthening cancer care across regions. Today, we are proud to release the 2017–2025 Impact Report, highlighting the program’s growth, the milestone of 60 graduated fellows, and the latest data on procedures performed by IGCS Fellows across participating institutions.

This program is a structured, two-year global curriculum delivered through deep, sustained mentorship and adapted to the realities of each local training institution. While grounded in internationally recognized standards of care, the curriculum is implemented in partnership with host institutions — strengthening existing systems, expanding surgical capacity, and empowering fellows to become leaders within their own regions. This report highlights: Leadership in Action: Graduated fellows are mentoring others, leading multidisciplinary teams, and shaping national cancer care strategies. In-Country Training: Training delivered within local resource settings—supported by ongoing mentorship—builds applied expertise that reflects the realities of daily practice. Global Collaboration: Mentorship, virtual tumor boards, and international support strengthen skills and sustainability.
