NCRI Gynaecological Group strategic priorities
The priorities outlined below address the key challenges the community faces to ensure that we continue to improve outcomes and move towards our goal of tailored/personalised treatment options for women. The new NCRI Network and focused working groups will facilitate these important advances.
Dr Shibani Nicum, Chair of NCRI Gynaecological Group
To identify the priorities in gynaecological cancer research, NCRI facilitated discussions between experts covering the overarching challenges, opportunities and gaps in gynaecological cancer research as well as specific issues and areas of unmet need in the field.
NCRI and the NCRI Gynaecological Group used this intelligence to identify the group’s strategic priorities. NCRI and the NCRI Gynaecological Group then consulted the community to decide which priorities would be addressed first.
Addressing the priorities in gynaecological cancer research
Working groups addressing the first priorities are currently being formed. These groups will be made up of the experts needed to address each research question. To be the first to hear about opportunities to join these working groups, please sign up to the NCRI Gynaecological Network.
