About Us

#gyncsm is a passionate community of gynecologic cancer survivors, patient advocates, caregivers and health care providers. We no longer host regular tweet chats on X.

Our Mission is to provide a place where those with a gynecologic cancer-related diagnosis and their caregivers can find reliable information and support, and to provide a place where health care providers can gain insight into the patient experience, discovering what topics/issues are most important to gyn cancer patients.

Gynecologic cancers include: cervical, ovarian, primary peritoneal, uterine/endometrial, fallopian tube, Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, vaginal and vulvar.
