ESGO Guidelines Vision

ESGO has set an objective to elaborate a complete set of guidelines and associated quality indicators for the management of Gynaecological cancers, in effort to improve the quality of care for women across Europe, as part of ESGO's mission statement.

Strict standards, including a proper methodology, a systematic literature search, internal and external reviews of the final document, including participation of patients’ representatives have been adopted to ensure the production of high-quality guidelines and quality indicators.

Whenever relevant and possible, the ESGO tries to associate the relevant sister knowledgeable societies such as the ESMO, the ESTRO, the ESP, and others. Thus, for the first time, in 2014, the ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO consensus conference on management of endometrial cancer took place and set pace for the inter-societies collaboration.

We hope European gynaecologic oncologists – and non-European colleagues as well – will find the recommendations and quality indicators helpful in achieving high quality cancer management and reliable assurance of the quality of surgery across Europe.
