Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) and its member organizations: 1AGO-OVAR (Germany), 2ANZGOG (Australia–New Zealand), 4EORTC (Europe), 6GEICO (Spain), 9GINECO (France), 3GOG (USA), 8JGOG (Japan), 10MRC/NCRI (UK), 7NCIC-CTG (Canada), 15NCI-US (USA), 5NSGO (Scandinavia), 12RTOG (USA), 11SGCTG (Scotland), and with representation of 14IGCS and 13the organizational team of the two prior International OCCCInternational evidence-based consensus statements are important in order to define and update standards of care and to serve not only as guidelines to communities worldwide, but also to provide a rational basis for future research. Two previous successful international ovarian cancer consensus conferences (OCCC) were held in Elsinore, Denmark in 1993 [1] and 5 years later in Bergen aan Zee, The Netherlands [2], where consensus statements were developed on a number of issues including biological and prognostic factors, best current therapy, both surgical and medical, and directions for future research in advanced disease. Since then, international cooperation has become more extensive and intergroup studies are now common as a mechanism to conduct large randomized clinical trials. The Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) now constitutes 13 national and international cooperative member groups and governmental organizations [3]. In 2002, the GCIG’s general assembly voted to plan the 3rd International OCCC with a more formal process to achieve consensus among the study groups on methodology and standard requirements for clinical trials so as to guide other national and international study groups working in gynecologic oncology. It was anticipated that the OCCC statements would also guide the general medical community and support the pharmaceutical industry in developing appropriate strategies to improve the outcome of women with this disease.
