Workshop on Gynecology and Women's Health: Benign Conditions and Cancer
To learn more about endometrial cancer, researchers took more than 12 million measurements involving thousands of molecular actors involved in how the disease unfolds.
On April 25 – 26, 2019, our division, the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, and the Gynecologic Health and Disease Branch in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) held a workshop to explore current insights into the progression of gynecologic cancers from benign conditions.
Working groups were formed based on 3 gynecologic disease types:
- Endometriosis or Endometrial Cancer and Endometrial-Associated Ovarian Cancer
- Uterine Fibroids (Leiomyoma) or Leiomyosarcoma
- Adenomyosis or Adenocarcinoma
