Reflections And Projections:
Looking Back to Move Forward in Gynaecological Cancer Research

We are very excited to be holding the ANZGOG 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting in Canberra, ACT from Wednesday 5 – Friday 7 March, 2025. It will be ANZGOG’s 25th Anniversary and it is the perfect time to be reflecting on ANZGOG’s impact and the depth and breadth of our research initiatives, our clinical trials portfolio and our leadership role in gynaecological cancer research. We also want to contribute to how ANZGOG plans and navigates the next 25 years ahead to continue to make a difference for everyone with a lived experience of gynaecological cancer.

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.

We are delighted to have as our distinguished International Keynote Speakers:

• A/Prof David Tan, Medical Oncologist, Senior Consultant at the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore

• Dr Lisa Bazette-Matabele, Gynaecological Oncologist, University of Botswana, School of Medicine, Rwanda

• Prof Carien Creutzberg, Radiation Oncologist, Leiden University Medical Centre, Netherlands

The Pure Science Symposium is the forum for scientists and clinicians 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).

The members volunteering for ANZGOG Scientific Meeting Program Committee are an amazing resource and contribute so much to organising the Annual Scientific Meeting, welcome to the 2025 Committee. Thank you and welcome to A/Prof Emma Allanson, the new Deputy Chair for the 2025 ASM Program Committee.

We look forward to celebrating this fabulous milestone with you all in Canberra, ACT.

Kind regards
