Late Breaking Abstract Submissions
Beginning December 5, 2013, SGO will accept abstract submissions for consideration as a Late-Breaking Abstract at the SGO 2014 Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer®. This session will highlight data of the highest scientific impact that has become available since the original 2014 Annual Meeting abstract submission deadline. An example of a Late-Breaking Abstract would be the results of a recently closed Phase III trial for which no preliminary data are available at the time of the abstract submission deadline. Abstract submissions for this session can also include preliminary findings and conclusions if data analysis is still ongoing. However, trials or experiments for which data collection is not yet complete are discouraged. Submitted abstracts should reflect scientific methods and statistical power suitable for a plenary presentation and should not be previously published or presented.
Late-Breaking Abstracts must clearly identify the objectives, methods, results and conclusions of the study. Abstracts already submitted in response to the original Call for Abstracts for the 2014 Annual Meeting are not eligible for resubmission.
Thank you for your interest in submitting your research for the Late Breaking Abstract Session at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 45th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer.
Please see complete guidelines below.
SGO will accept submissions for Late Breaking scientific abstracts Thursday, December 5, 2014 through Monday, February 10, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. Central Time.
