Starting this year, IGCS is welcoming case study abstract submissions on any of the listed abstract topics. The case study type is designed to highlight unique, rare, or instructive clinical scenarios that provide valuable insights into the management of gynecologic cancers. Submissions should focus on cases that underscore novel diagnostic challenges, innovative treatment approaches, or critical decision-making processes with broader implications for the field.

Abstracts in this submission type should be structured to emphasize the key aspects of the case, including:

1. Background/Introduction: A brief statement about the purpose of the study and pertinent background.
2. Case Presentation: A concentrated summary of the case and its key aspects.
3. Discussion: An interpretation of the case’s relevance to clinical practice or research and a brief literature review.
4. Conclusion: A summary of the key takeaways and significance of the study.

Abstracts should be clear, concise, and adhere to the word limit and submission requirements as outlined in the submission guidelines. High-quality submissions in this category will be considered for ePoster presentations during the annual meeting.

The trial-in-progress type is intended for ongoing trials in gynecologic oncology that have not yet reached protocol-specified endpoints for analysis. This category provides investigators an opportunity to share the objectives, methodology, and current status of their trials on a wide variety of topics, fostering awareness and collaboration within the community.

Abstracts in this category should include:

1. Introduction: A brief statement about the purpose of the trial and pertinent background.
2. Objectives: A description of the primary and secondary endpoints of the trial.
3. Methods: A summary of the study design, interventions, participant selection criteria, and statistical methods.
4. Current Status & Future Directions: A brief outline of the trial progress, expected timeline for data analysis and potential clinical impact.

Please note the following eligibility criteria and important items regarding TiP submissions.

• The NCT number (from clinicaltrials.gov) or its national/regional equivalent, in accordance with the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) standards, must be submitted alongside the abstract during the submission process within the Questionnaire section.
• TiP abstracts are applicable to trials in Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III, as well as combination trials involving multiple phases (e.g., Phase I/II).
• Recruitment must have already begun or have been completed by the trial-in-progress abstract submission deadline for IGCS 2025.
• Abstracts including results or preliminary data will not be considered.
• TiP abstracts submitted to IGCS 2024 are allowed for resubmission to IGCS 2025 if new data is included.

Abstracts should be clear, concise, and adhere to the word limit and submission requirements as outlined in the submission guidelines. High-quality submissions in this category will be considered for ePoster presentations during the annual meeting.

Starting this year, IGCS is welcoming pragmatic trial concept abstract submissions on any of the listed abstract topics. Pragmatic trials are concepts for new and innovative trials answering key clinic questions in the field of gynecologic cancer that have previously not been tested. These are especially trial designs and concepts that are NOT currently in progress however there may be preliminary data either in the phase 1 or pre-clinical stages that is hypothesis generating. These trial concepts should have clearly defined outcomes of interest including PFS, OSS, ORR, etc. Background and methods should be clearly elucidated along with an explanation of why the trial is novel and what clinical question should be answered. Trials in the category should be collaborative and geared toward low-resource settings.

Each abstract must include the following sections:

1. Introduction: A brief statement about the purpose of the trial and pertinent background, including an outline of the innovative aspects.
2. Objectives: A description of the primary and secondary endpoints of the trial. Objectives should focus on practical questions and outcomes, such as
   – Treatment effectiveness in a broader, non-controlled clinical setting
   – Health outcomes in diverse patient populations
   – Cost-effectiveness or healthcare resource utilization in real-world practice
3. Trial Design: A description of the proposed design of the trial (e.g., randomized controlled trial, cohort study, etc.), including the pragmatic aspects that differentiate it from traditional trials.
4. Feasibility and Implementation: A brief outline of the potential for implementing the trial in real-world settings. What challenges might arise in terms of patient recruitment, data collection, or logistics?
5. Conclusion: A summary of the trial concept, reiterating its importance for advancing gynecological cancer care

Abstracts should be clear, concise, and adhere to the word limit and submission requirements as outlined in the submission guidelines. High-quality submissions in this category will be considered for oral or ePoster presentations during the annual meeting.

IGCS welcomes surgical film submissions on a wide variety of topics. Surgical film submissions will be evaluated based on educational content and audio/visual quality.

All films must meet the following requirements: 

• Films must be uploaded to VIMEO and an open-access URL to the film must be provided in the specified field within the abstract submission site.
• Providing a Vimeo link is done only through the abstract submission site.
• The film URL upload should be set up so that anyone using the link can view the film. Click here for detailed setup guidelines. The submitter is required to ensure that the VIMEO ULR will remain accessible from the moment of submission until 3 months after the IGCS 2025 Meeting.
• Films cannot exceed 8 minutes to be considered.
• Films must be uploaded to VIMEO in MP4 format.
• Films must include either sound (recorded narration) or subtitles.
