ESGE

The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGE) is an international medical organization dedicated to advancing the field of gynaecological oncology. Founded in 1992, the society brings together specialists in the diagnosis, treatment, and research of gynecological cancers, including ovarian, cervical, endometrial, and vulvar cancers. Its mission is to improve patient care through education, collaboration, and the dissemination of evidence-based clinical guidelines.

The ESGE is composed of members from across Europe and beyond, including surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in gynecological cancer care. The society organizes annual meetings, scientific conferences, and educational courses to foster knowledge exchange and professional development. It also publishes peer-reviewed journals and guidelines to support best practices in treatment and research.

Key initiatives of the ESGE include promoting multidisciplinary care, encouraging innovation in surgical techniques, and supporting research into early detection and personalized treatment strategies. The society collaborates with other medical organizations, such as the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology’s partners in the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), to strengthen global efforts in combating gynecological cancers.

The ESGE plays a significant role in shaping policies and standards within the field, advocating for improved access to specialized care and resources. Its work contributes to reducing disparities in treatment outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for patients affected by gynecological malignancies. Through its commitment to excellence, the society continues to drive progress in the fight against gynecological cancers worldwide.
