CANCELLED: ESGO-ENYGO-ESO Masterclass in Gynaecological Oncology

On behalf of ESGO, ENYGO and ESO we would like to inform you that due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Masterclass in Gynaecological Oncology programmed for 29-31 October in Rome, Italy.

We deeply regret having to take this decision but we feel that in the current climate we all need to do our part in trying to limit the diffusion of the virus as much as possible and this was the only decision possible considering your role in society as medical staff.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused but we think you’ll all agree that this solution was unavoidable.
