The Caribbean Gynecologic Cancer Society (CGCS) has officially unveiled plans for its 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting, set to take place April 24–25 at the Hilton Barbados Resort. One of the most anticipated regional medical gatherings of the year, the conference will draw top gynecologic oncologists, surgical specialists, research scientists and healthcare practitioners from across the Caribbean and international medical communities. Its core mission is to expand collective clinical knowledge, share breakthrough innovations, and deepen cross-institutional collaboration to address the growing public health challenge of gynecologic cancers.
Centered on the overarching theme of advancing clinical excellence and enhancing patient outcomes, the two-day event will feature a dynamic, multi-format program designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of attendees. Expert-led keynote lectures and interactive panel discussions will open space for critical dialogue, while cutting-edge original research presentations will showcase the latest findings in the field. The agenda will focus specifically on multidisciplinary care models for three of the most common gynecologic malignancies: ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers. Organizers have also prioritized sessions highlighting emerging targeted therapies, game-changing technological innovations in gynecologic oncology, and adaptable, practical care strategies that work for both high-resource and low-resource clinical settings across the region.
aA standout feature of the 2026 meeting is its roster of distinguished regional and international faculty, with speakers joining from leading global cancer research and treatment institutions. This international participation underscores CGCS’s longstanding commitment to lifting the standard of gynecologic cancer care across every Caribbean nation, regardless of local resource constraints.
In a statement announcing the event, CGCS Chairman Dr. Vikash Chatrani emphasized the unique value of the annual gathering. “This meeting represents a vital opportunity for cross-border knowledge exchange and regional collaboration that we cannot get anywhere else,” Chatrani said. “Our core goal is to equip frontline healthcare professionals with actionable insight into the latest medical advancements, while fostering long-term partnerships that will ultimately translate to better care and better outcomes for patients across the entire Caribbean.”
Beyond the rigorous academic program, attendees will have the chance to experience the award-winning hospitality of Barbados, with intentionally curated networking and professional engagement opportunities set against the island’s culturally rich, relaxed backdrop. Organizers expect the 2026 meeting to draw a broad, diverse cross-section of medical professionals invested in advancing women’s health, including practicing gynecologists, medical oncologists, oncology nurses, medical students, and a wide range of allied health practitioners.
