The Gynecologic Cancer
Foundation
The Gynecologic Cancer
Foundation (GCF) was established by the
Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO) in 1991 as a
not-for-profit charitable organization to develop and present
educational programs for women who have or are at risk of developing
a
gynecologic cancer.
All members of the Society of
Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) are members of the
Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF). They are financially
separate although they jointly fund some projects. With regards to
their educational activities, the SGO works primarily with
physicians and other health professionals, whereas the GCF's efforts
are directed toward the public. In this way, they should be viewed
as complementary organizations.
