Our missions intersect in our goals to develop oncologic expertise locally and provide surgical and medical care, participate in research, and provide education related gynecologic cancer treatment where the need is the greatest.

The goal of Project GEOCC is to assess current practices, access to, and standards of care globally, and ultimately use this information to strive towards achieving equality and equity in care for all women affected by ovarian cancer. Please participate in our study.

We are pleased to announce that we have assembled an Advocacy Committee with the goal to advance gynecologic cancer awareness in alignment with our mission by guiding, supporting, and overseeing the International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network as well as other advocacy initiatives, programs, and events.
