Welcome from ASM Chair

“Breaking down barriers in gynaecological cancer care” is the theme for ANZGOG’s ASM 2024.

We are delighted to announce our first ANZGOG ASM to be held in Aotearoa New Zealand. This year we will focus on “breaking down the barriers” that exist in gynaecological cancer. We plan to shine a light on the cultural, socioeconomic and regional diversity of our patients and how through research into treatments and health practice, we can overcome the increasing cancer burden, inequities of access to care and outcomes for our patients.

We are pleased to announce our distinguished international speakers: Prof Emma Crosbie (UK), Prof Gemma Eminowicz (UK) and Prof Isabelle Ray-Coquard (France) along with Prof Akila Viswanathan (USA) who will be attending virtually.

ANZGOG’s Annual Scientific Meeting brings together national and international experts in gynaecological medicine, radiation and surgical oncology, pathology, basic scientists, translational and quality of life researchers, study coordinators and nurses, as well as our partners in the pharmaceutical industry.

The meeting enables attendees to learn about the latest developments in gynaecological cancer and provides education and capacity-building opportunities amongst members and industry personnel. The Pure Science Symposium is the forum for scientists to learn about the cutting-edge research and developments in the pre-clinical and translational space. The meeting is attended by over 300 delegates (close to a third of ANZGOG membership).

We would like to thank members of the ANZGOG Scientific Meeting Program Committee for helping to organise the Annual Scientific Meeting 2024. Special thanks to the Deputy Chair of the 2024 ASM Program Committee Dr Bryony Simcock. We look forward to seeing you in Wellington.

Kind regards
