ANZGOG’s Annual Scientific Meeting
The ANZGOG Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) is the premier gathering for the gynaecological oncology community across Australia and New Zealand.
Held annually, the ASM brings together national and international experts in gynaecological medicine, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, research, study coordination and nursing, alongside lived experience advocates and partners from the pharmaceutical industry. Together, they share the latest advances in gynaecological cancer research and foster the collaborations that drive the field forward.
The three-day event attracts close to 400 delegates, making it one of the largest gatherings of the gynaecological oncology community across Australia and New Zealand. It provides an opportunity to learn about the latest developments in gynaecological cancer while fostering education, collaboration, networking and capacity-building among ANZGOG members and industry partners.
A highlight of the program is the Pure Science Symposium, which offers a dedicated forum for scientists and clinicians to discuss emerging pre-clinical and translational research.
