Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to attend the 4th European Congress: Perspectives in Gynecologic Oncology, to be held 19-20 January 2007 in Barcelona, Spain. This year’s meeting promises to be an exciting educational event covering HPV-associated cancers, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer. A panel of leading clinical experts will provide a broad update and overview of the rapidly expanding knowledge base in each field. Added to the interactive format of state-of-the-art lectures, debates, and panel discussions this year will be case discussions, presented by clinical fellows, which will kick off most sessions. New trials, new guidelines, and new therapies will provide valuable program content for practitioners involved in the diagnosis and management of gynecological cancers. We hope you will be able to join us in Barcelona for what is sure to be a very rewarding educational and collegial experience.

Sincerely,
Andreas du Bois, MD, PhD
