This conference will provide a fascinating day of discussions and updates on the most current topics in the diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer, from both a clinical and scientific perspective.

The programme will cover a broad range of both clinical and scientific topics, encompassing rarer as well as more common forms of ovarian cancer. Novel translational data will be presented, some for the first time.

During the conference, delegates will learn about:
• the biology of ovarian cancer
• progress made in the early detection of ovarian cancer
• the pros and cons of treatment modalities in the upfront setting
• the evolving role of PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer
• the current evidence for immunotherapy treatments in ovarian cancer
• rare ovarian cancers.
