International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network
Our mission is to create and sustain a broad Network of organizations and individuals that work collaboratively—in sisterhood—“to enhance the care of women with gynecologic cancers worldwide,” with the core value that every woman under every circumstance deserves and must receive the best possible quality of care and quality of life, resulting in best outcomes.

Survivor/Caregiver/Patient Advocate Account
This “advocate member” account is meant for survivors, caregivers, and others who identify as patient advocates but do not fit into the other account categories on the IGCS membership page. Create an account with this category if you only want to join the International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network (IGCAN) and receive email messages from IGCAN. Patient education is always free, but advocate accounts do not have access to clinical, members-only education and resources.

Rosalind Glasspool, Chair of the IGCS Advocacy Committee, shares how the International Gynecologic Cancer Society is building a stronger global advocacy community through the International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network (IGCAN).
Launched in 2021, IGCAN now offers impactful programs like the Annual Advocacy Summit, year-round education, and the newly launched IGCAN Advocacy Directory — an online resource helping organizations connect, grow visibility, and support patients and families across the globe.
Dr. Glasspool also highlights IGCS’s role in global awareness efforts, including the declaration of June as Uterine Cancer Awareness Month and the ongoing celebration of survivors, advocates, and healthcare providers through resources like the Voices of Hope series and the Dicey Scroggins Distinguished Advocacy Award.
