The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF) was established by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO) in 1991 as a not-for-profit charitable organization to develop and present educational programs for women who have or are at risk of developing a gynecologic cancer.
GCF programs are designed to:
Raise public
awareness of ways to prevent, detect and treat gynecologic cancers;
Provide education about gynecologic cancers and the central role of
gynecologic oncologists in these activities;
Support promising, innovative gynecologic cancer research and train a
cadre of clinicians/scientists to participate in clinically relevant research
in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute.
