6th Gynaecological Cancer Academy Workshop

The 6th Gynaecological Cancer Academy Workshop with joint sessions of ENGOT Translational Research Network and Phase 1-2 Network, was held in London in September 2015.

The opening session of the workshop challenged the topic 'How to classify patients with recurrent ovarian cancer'. For several decades, the recurrent ovarian cancer has been classified according to platinum-free interval. However, in the era of new target therapies, this classification may not be relevant and a molecular classification might be more appropriate.

In addition, the session ´Challenges in defining the criteria for response and progression in clinical trials´ challenged a critical discussion about usage of Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, Immune related Response Criteria (irRC), CA-125 and their variations in trials, and questioned their usage in the era of the era of targeted and immunologic therapies.
