Cancer survivorship care tries to discover improved healthy lifestyles for cancer patients, rather than just managing the complications; thus, it seems necessary to identify the aspects associated with general well-being in order to design proper care, and confront difficulties that cancer survivors encounter such as anxiety, depression, cognitive dysfunction, weakness and fatigue, pain, sexual dysfunction, and sleep disorders (1-4). Cancer survivorship assessment from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network clinical practice guidelines in oncology (NCCN guidelines. survivorship, version 2.2020) is one of the most common and valid tools for measuring the quality of life in cancer survivors (3-6).Gynecological cancer survivors have been growing, as a result of advancements in national cancer screening strategies, resulting in early-stage diagnosis, and cancer treatments developments; thus, general mortality to incidence ratios have been declined from 2000 to 2015, in Iran. However, lack of a valid documented assessment tool to measure their requirements for supportive care is detected (7). It seems indispensable to provide a translated adapted version of NCCN survivorship questionnaire, to offer the Iranian cancer care providers have the prospect in comparison and approaches in a transcultural framework. The present study proposed to represent a renovated double back translation to revise and culturally adapt the original English version of cancer survivors’ assessment questionnaire into the Persian version in order to achieve a reliable tool that meets the clinical research needs of Iranian researchers at the desired level. The aim was to develop a comprehensive scale that comprises all features of gynecologic cancer survivors` requirements in Iranian population, equivalent to NCCN guideline hypothetical concept.

Background & Objective: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. One of the most important indicators that deal with all aspects of the patients' health is the Health-related quality of life (QOL). In this study, the QOL of women with cervical cancer in Iran was investigated.Materials & Methods: The present cross-sectional study examined the QOL of 139 patients with cervical cancer referred to Imam Khomeini hospital, affiliated with the Tehran University of Medical Sciences. For this study, a specific questionnaire of QOL in patients with cervical cancer was used. To determine the predictors of cervical cancer patients, the QOL linear regression model was used.Results: Findings of this study showed that the total score of QOL of patients was 20.97±1.29. Moreover, in the regression model, a significant relationship was observed between the type of treatment and patients' QOL scores and those patients who had neoadjuvant therapy plus surgery (β=-17.45, P < /i>=0.02) and those who received brachytherapy (β=- 14.86 and P < /i>=0.09) had a significantly lower QOL score.Conclusion: Overall, the QOL of people with cervical cancer was moderate. Implementing educational programs for service providers and choosing the appropriate type of treatment according to the stage of the disease and the patient's age can help control this type of disease and its complications and improve the QOL of patients.

Cancer in adolescent and young adults (AYA) includes people who are diagnosed with cancer at the age of 15–39. One of the main concerns and consequences of AYA cancer treatment in both sexes is infertility. Premature ovarian failure (POF) is common in multimodal chemotherapy regimens. There is a significant difference in the sensitivity of the ovary to drugs. In conclusion, in young cancer women, oophoropexy, infertility counseling, and embryo or oocyte cryopreservation should be considered. Medroxyprogesterone, oral contraceptive pill (OCP), or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) should be prescribed in the risk of menorrhagia.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is thought to be the most common sexually transmitted viral disease. This infection continues to be an important topic. One of the most important conferences on human papillomavirus infection and related cancers is EUROGIN. The program also includes state of the art science on anogenital and head and neck cancer, inspiration, cooperation, and forums to share expertise and learn from leading experts in the field.
Methods: We reported an abstract of important articles and researches presented in this congress.
Results: HPV had rolled in oropharyngeal cancer. KI67/P16 is important for deciding on treatment of patients with HPV high-risk positive. Methylation can be used in the management of HPV high-risk patients. 9-valent HPV vaccination can prevent different anogenital cancers.
Conclusions: HPV has important role in different cancers. HPV vaccination can prevent a variety of anogenital cancers related to HPV.
