SGO Releases Survivorship Toolkit for Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month

SGO has developed a number of resources to help guide survivors on next steps after treatment. The Survivorship Toolkit can be used in conjunction with information physicians already provide to patients as they complete treatment. These tools include a treatment summary and survivorship care plans, a self-care, information cards and a survivorship calendar. Read the full press release in the SGO Newsroom.
