Read the European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS) and International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) position statement on managing menopause after gynecological cancer: focus on menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis, published in the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer.

The World Ovarian Cancer Coalition (WOCC) is now our Strategic Advocacy Partner. This partnership maximizes the collective influence, membership, force, and reach of these two premiere organizations and establishes a framework through which they will provide tangible benefit to gynecologic cancer survivors-patients worldwide, with special emphasis on ovarian cancer.

The Chilean Society of Gynecologic Oncology and the Peruvian Society of Gynecological Oncology recently joined our Strategic Alliance Partner Program. And earlier this year, the Mexican College of Gynecologic Oncology invited us to their congress to promote IGCS membership.

As the International Gynecological Cancer Society continues successful outreach in Eurasia, this strategic partnership with the Russian Society of Oncologists in Cancer of Reproductive Systems will generate tremendous benefits in the areas of clinical practice, research and palliative care affecting millions of patients throughout Russia and neighboring counties.

IGCS welcomes three societies bringing a total of 127 new members to the Strategic Alliance Partnership Program:: the Caribbean Gynecologic Cancer Society (CGCS), the Malaysian Gynaecological Cancer Society (MGCS) and the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplasicas-Peru (INEN).

Empowering women, caregivers and others interested in making a difference with tools and resources to increase their level of autonomy and enable them to represent the specific needs within their region. This may include screening and vaccination, funding and support for clinical trials, research, and access to better care.
