We are pleased to let you know that CEEGOG has been approved as a provisional member of GCIG – the Organization of International Cooperative Groups for Clinical Trials in Gynecologic Cancers. 

The Gynecological Cancer InterGroup aims to promote and facilitate high quality  clinical trials in order to improve the outcomes for women with gynecological cancer. CEEGOG could be interested in joining some of the GCIG protocols, and GCIG can be a good network for boosting your projects in the future. 

After two years of provisional membership, a re-evaluation for full membership is conducted (which also applies to all full membership groups every two years). One criterion is that CEEGOG works as a group, which means that several CEEGOG centers participate in GCIG trials. We look forward to cooperating with your centers within the GCIG trials and projects!
