Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Guideline for Advanced Ovarian Cancer

I was privileged to represent women diagnosed with ovarian cancer as the patient representative/advocate on the the joint SGO / ASCO guideline panel  that developed the recently released:

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed, Advanced Ovarian Cancer: Society of Gynecologic Oncology and American Society of Clinical Oncology Clinical Practice Guideline

It was a process that took over a year, a few meetings (in-person and online), and many e-mails. During the entire time I felt that the "patient voice" was an integral part of the process. 

Thank you ASCO, SGO and Drs Alexi Wright and Mitchell Edelson, Guideline Chairs,  and the entire panel for giving me this opportunity.
