The Story
The Nordic Society of Gynaecological Oncology was founded in November 1986 in Oslo, by representatives from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The purpose of the society was, and is still today, to advance communication between the Nordic countries in gynaecological cancer research between Doctors, Professors, Young Doctors and academic Study Nurses.
The Society has since accepted Iceland as a representative, though the population is low to be included in the statistics.
The Baltic Regions – Lithuania & Estonia are associate members of NSGO.
NSGO currently has over 300 members.
The Nordic countries alternate in hosting the NSGO Annual Meeting.
