Management of most Gynaecological cancers are challenging and required frequent interaction of clinical and scientific experts. Gynaecologic cancer league (GCL) aims to bring together the leaders and members of gynaecologic oncology across New Zealand in a unique forum to communicate, share ideas and work together on a global level. To discuss the latest developments in Gynae cancer, GCL organised an inaugural annual summit on 6th May at the School of Medicine, University of Otago, Christchurch, New Zealand. The focus of this scientific meeting was the novel translational research and the genomic signatures associated with gynaecological abnormalities.
