Invited international speakers will share insights on recent developments about rare gynaecological cancers. The training school is entitled: “They are rare, but they are there” and it will be held at Sofia University from the 29 June till the 1 July 2023. This will include 3 days of lectures and practical workshops on multidisciplinary care in rare gynaecological cancers, sentinel node biopsy, HPV screening in cervical cancer, career development in oncology, robotic surgery and patient advocacy.
