Society of Gynecologic Oncologists

In January 1968, Hervy Averette, MD, and John J. Mikita, MD, recognized a requirement for the formation of a restorative society concentrated exclusively on gynecologic oncology. The proposed reason for the new association was to "animate enthusiasm for gynecologic tumor and to advance the preparation and instruction of people around there of interest." The working title for the proposed association was the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists.

In May 1968, Drs. Averette and Mikuta accumulated other likeminded colleagues of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to talk about the potential for this new association. Those in participation consented to shape a general public comprising of obstetrician-gynecologists whose significant interest was gynecologic disease. In January 1969, invested individuals were accumulated to formalize the production of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO). Director George C. Lewis, Jr., MD, started the session with a test to the gathering:

In January 1970, the principal Annual Meeting of the SGO was met. Presently, the association was joined in the State of Florida. Additionally that year, the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists named a few impromptu advisory groups to consider a progressed subspecialty affirmation. The Gynecologic Oncology Committee included five SGO individuals, including John L. Lewis, Jr., MD, as executive. In 1972, the subspecialties in Obstetrics and Gynecology were formally affirmed by the American Board of Medical Specialists. The main composed and oral examinations for an affirmation for Special Competence in Gynecologic Oncology were given in 1974.

SGO changed its name to the Society of Gynecologic Oncology in May 2011, perceiving SGO's extended enrollment, which now incorporates agents from the whole tumor care group, including therapeutic and radiation oncologists, pathologists, scientists, gynecologic oncology medical caretakers and doctor collaborators, palliative consideration masters, and social specialists.

SGO in April 2012 rebuilt itself as a 501(c)(6) not revenue was driven element and made a 501(c)(3) substance called the Foundation for Gynecologic Oncology. The Foundation got to be in charge of training, examination, advancement and raising support to finish the missions of both gatherings. As the new 501(c)(6), SGO accepted accountability for clinical practice, government relations, coding and enrollment exercises.
