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.

“The health of women forecasts the health, strength, and resilience of communities, and…improving gynecologic cancer care and women’s overall health—thus the health of their communities—[can be achieved] through synergistic global outreach and engagement. The opportunities are boundless.”
