The network held its 16th annual Gynaecological Oncology Nurses and Allied Health Group (GONG) seminar on 19 May, at the Kerry Packer Education Centre, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. More than 85 clinicians attended the face-to-face seminar, which focused on the care of women with gynaecological cancers, including:
- gynaecological cancers and immunotherapy
- patient support needs in advanced endometrial cancer
- gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD)
- survivors teaching students, an Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group program
- radiation: addressing the issue of toxicity and side effects of pelvic radiotherapy
- multidisciplinary panel discussion with eight clinicians, over three complex case studies
- eliminating cervical cancer: where are we now?
Thanks to the GONG committee for curating another excellent program, and cultivating a robust community of practice for nurses and allied health staff in gynaecological oncology.
