Improving surgical outcomes through collaborative research. Uniting researchers across the globe to reduce disparities in gynaecological cancer surgery.
Since 2021, GO SOAR has built a worldwide network dedicated to improving surgical outcomes for women with gynaecological cancers.
Our collaborative research delivers rapid benefits to patients through inclusive, globally representative studies.
International Variations in Surgical Morbidity and Mortality Post Gynaecological Oncology Surgery
A landmark study enrolling 1,820 patients from 73 hospitals across 27 countries, examining post-operative outcomes and identifying factors for quality improvement.
Survival after interval and delayed cytoreduction surgery in advanced ovarian cancer
International retrospective cohort study of 2,498 patients examining outcomes of interval vs delayed cytoreduction surgery and chemotherapy alone.
Predicting Risk of Post-Operative Morbidity and Mortality
Developing machine learning algorithms to predict post-operative outcomes, enabling personalised surgical risk assessment for gynaecological oncology patients.
Any centre performing gynaecological oncology surgeries can participate. Contribute to groundbreaking research while gaining access to standardised outcome data and a supportive international community.
GO SOAR works to improve surgical outcomes through collaborative research, addressing the unique challenges of both high-income and low-middle income countries.
Prioritise research questions in gynaecological oncology through collaborative consensus-building.
Gather standardised data via a centralised database accessible to all institutions performing gynaecological oncology surgery.
Build sustainable research networks producing protocols and guidelines applicable across different healthcare settings.
Develop the next generation of researchers and clinical leaders in gynaecological oncology.
Gynaecological cancers account for the second greatest disease burden amongst cancers affecting women. Despite this, only ~25% of patients have access to safe, affordable, and timely surgery.
GO SOAR was founded in January 2021 to develop a global network ensuring equal representation of both high-income and low-middle income countries, with the ability to collaborate on outcome studies and inform policy formation.
