About us
The Gynecological Oncology Forum is passionate about raising awareness of gynecological cancers such as ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer. These diseases are less common than breast cancer, but often involve challenging diagnoses and treatments. Founded in 2022 by Prof. Dr. Jalid Sehouli and Susanne Fechner, we are committed to promoting current research findings and supporting affected women and their families.
We are committed to raising awareness of these important issues and organize events to provide reliable information. Our goal is to improve understanding of gynecological tumors and facilitate access to helpful resources.
OUR GOALS
OUR MAIN ACTIVITIES
We target patients, relatives, doctors, and nursing staff with campaigns, training courses, brochures, magazines, and videos.
We promote the exchange of information and professional discourse, and bring together various areas of healthcare such as creative therapies, psycho-oncology, sports, and exercise. A special aspect of our work is the Gyn study portal, where we list all current gynecological studies in Germany.
THE TEAM
The Forum Gyn Oncology initiative was founded in 2022 by Susanne Fechner (Head of the German Ovarian Cancer Foundation) and Prof. Dr. Jalid Sehouli (Deputy Chairman of the German Ovarian Cancer Foundation and Director of the Gynecology Clinic at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin).
The forum is supported by a broad interdisciplinary team from the fields of research, medical and patient communication, psycho-oncology, and creative therapy.
We also work with renowned experts from centers of excellence throughout Germany and patient representatives from self-help groups.
