Melissa Hardesty, MD, MPH, of the Alaska Women’s Cancer Care, spoke with CancerNetwork® regarding topics of discussion at the forefront of this year’s Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2021 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.

Transcription:

This year, the meeting has focused on diversity and inclusiveness [by] really looking at some actual research about how these things impact our patients, how they impact our providers, racial bias, and all of that. There’s a lot of content that’s specifically trying to help us learn how to do better in these ways, to just continue on further conversations. I know that the program organizers have put a strong emphasis on that. There [are] exciting talks in the opening plenary that I think in meetings past might not have been selected for [presentation, and] focusing on the commitment to that area.
