After four successful Masterclass editions, the Masterclass 2020, organized by ESGO, ENYGO (European Network of Young Gynaecological Oncologists) and ESO (European School of Oncology) on October 29-31, 2020 in Rome, Italy, will present up-to-date, standardised knowledge of the multidisciplinary management of gynaecological cancers to future gynaecological oncologists across Europe.

The course furthers the organisations’ key goal of harmonising gynaecological oncology training and education throughout Europe.

The primary learning objective of the Masterclass is to cover the entire curriculum of the gynae-oncological subspecialty as defined by ESGO, which defines the European standards of training and care in Gynaecological Oncology.

This full-immersion, clinically oriented, multidisciplinary event offers plenary lectures, regarding state-of-the-art clinical evaluation and treatments with reference to clinical guidelines.

State-of-the-art lectures will be combined with practical video presentations of surgical approaches and tumour boards.

Key Topics:

• Pelvic anatomy applied to gynaecological cancer surgery
• Cervical cancer
• Vulvar cancers
• Breast cancer
• Malignant tumors of the uterus
• Malignant tumors of the ovaries
• Miscellaneous (palliative care, side effects of chemotherapy, targeted therapy)
• Workshops: Presentation of selected clinical cases by participants with discussion

The Masterclass is a 3-day residential educational event covering key topics of the curricula needed for the ESGO accreditation in the subspecialty of gynaecological oncology.

This year, following previous participants’ feedback, discussion and tumour board time will be extended.

In addition, to make this year's event even more interactive, selected participants will have a unique opportunity to present and discuss their case study in 4 workshops. View the Call for Case studies Abstracts. Template HERE

After the Masterclass, participants will have a full picture of the basics of different gynaecological cancers, their treatment, and care in compliance with the ESGO-defined standards of training in gynaecological oncology.

An international faculty of leading experts in the field will contribute to the program. Participation is compulsory throughout the course. The Masterclass will be conducted entirely in English.
