Gynecologic Cancer Foundation
The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF) was established in 1991 by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists to promote
public awareness about the prevention, early detection and treatment of gynecologic cancers.
In addition to engaging in public education, GCF also supports research and training related to gynecologic cancers. GCF
is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization that advances its mission by increasing public and private funds that aid in the
development and implementation of programs to meet these goals.
Examples of these programs include:
- Educational brochures on each of the major gynecologic cancers, including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer
and ovarian cancer
- Educational presentations on the major gynecologic cancers
- Public education campaigns, such as the National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign
- Web-based educational information via the Women’s Cancer Network
- Courses on the major gynecologic cancers for women living with these cancers taught by leading experts and
offered through the United States
- Annual research awards and grants to encourage young investigators to pursue gynecologic cancer-related
research
- Collaborative programs with gynecologic cancer advocacy organizations facilitated by GCF Allied Support Group,
consisting of 31 national organizations committed to women’s gynecologic health
The Gynecologic Foundation believes that where there is knowledge, there is hope. You can learn more about the GCF at
