    Abstract

    At the International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) Global Meeting in 2023 held in Seoul, South Korea, we held a Presidential Plenary Session focusing on palliative care (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBDIoQ50xgI). We hereby reaffirm the significance of this session, express the Palliative Care Declaration made by the IGCS, and describe our action plan for the future.
