The forum is an opportunity to learn about the most recent developments and breakthroughs in gynecologic cancer and connect with other survivors, advocates, and healthcare professionals. We’ve heard your feedback over the past couple of years and have added content centering patient advocacy as well as more time to ask and answer questions and create meaningful conversations. Featured topics include cancer treatment side effect management, sexual health, cancer aftercare, and so much more.
