In celebration of their 20 year anniversary, ANZGOG is pleased to share the commemorative publication: ‘20 Years Improving Life for Women Through Cancer Research, Part One.’

It is my great pleasure to share this document with you to celebrate our 20-year anniversary – 20 Years Improving Life for Women Through Cancer Research, Part One.

This first part, representing the first 10 years of our organisation, reflects on the great contributions of many key people around ANZGOG; including the significant efforts made by the giants of Michael Friedlander AM, Michael Quinn AM, and Danny Rischin, and all ANZGOG members during this time. These really were the first steps that allowed us to reach where we are today – a larger, more mature, leading organisation in the gynaecological cancer research space.

The document includes stories on the beginnings of ANZGOG, our early local and global collaborations, clinical trials conducted in this period with investigator commentary, as well as a collection of photographs taken at the Annual Scientific Meetings.

Part two will tell the story of ANZGOG’s second decade, covering the years 2010-2020, and will be released in early 2022.

I hope you enjoy taking a trip down memory lane and reading this reflection of ANZGOG’s proud history.

Yours Sincerely,

Associate Professor Philip Beale

Chair | ANZGOG
