Important changes to FIGO World Congress 2021

Image In light of uncertainty surrounding the closure of Australia’s border amid the global pandemic, and to ensure we can deliver a viable World Congress in October 2021, we have taken the very difficult decision to cancel the in-person element of this year’s World Congress that was due to take place in Australia. This means that we will no longer be hosting the World Congress in Sydney and will instead hold a virtual-only event. We are extremely grateful to all of our partners, particularly the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG), the Local Organising Committee as well as Business Events Sydney and the government of New South Wales, for their effort in support of what would have been an incredible event in Australia.

Sequential CRT Wins in Post-Op Cervical Cancer

P=0.03). Subgroup analyses showed that sequential CRT improved DFS outcomes in high-risk women compared with radiation alone (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26-0.88), as well as in the intermediate-risk group (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.91). Sequential CRT should be considered a preferred adjuvant treatment after radical hysterectomy for patients with early-stage cervical cancer, Liu and co-authors concluded. Concurrent CRT, on the other hand, failed to significantly improve DFS or OS compared with radiation alone. In an accompanying editorial, Bradley Monk, MD, of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix, and colleagues called the findings provocative and promising, but also pointed to various limitations. For one, patients assigned to concurrent CRT did not tolerate it well, which is not consistent with U.S. experience and underpowers this arm for reliable comparison, the editorialists wrote.

Covid vaccines coming, but not for everyone

BENGALURU: When the anti-COVID-19 vaccines do arrive, those hoping to get the shots should ensure that they do not have any COVID-19 symptoms. Women of child-bearing age also need to ensure that they do not conceive for a certain duration after getting the dosage. While the government has prioritised that health workers, frontline workers, senior citizens and those with co-morbidities will get the shots first, pregnant women and those with COVID-19 symptoms will remain vulnerable to contracting the virus. In the absence of any safety trials conducted on pregnant women, regulators in Britain have advised not to offer vaccine shots to pregnant women, and the authorities there have cautioned women of child-bearing age to avoid getting pregnant at least for two months after they have been vaccinated.Experts said that in the absence of vaccine trial data on pregnant women, there are no convincing indicators to show its effects on the well-being of the mother and unborn child.

Postpartum IUD Project: Bangladesh

Image “Choosing a method for myself, I needed a long-acting reversible method because I want to have another child in 5 or 6 years, I did not hesitate to choose PPIUD. It is also non-hormonal so I am able to breastfeed my baby, which is important to me.” Najbin Akter, PPFP Counsellor at Khulna Medical College Hospital and PPIUD user To this end, in 2013 FIGO began the ‘Institutionalisation of Immediate Postpartum IUD (PPIUD) Services Initiative.’ It has trained community midwives, health workers, doctors and delivery unit staff in counselling on postpartum family planning (PPFP) and insertion of IUDs immediately postpartum. We are proud to celebrate the impressive achievements of each of the countries involved in this project. For this article, we look at the success of the project in Bangladesh.
