PRESENTATION

Dear friends,
on behalf of the Executive Committee of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology it is my pleasure to invite you to join the 8th World Congress of Gynecological Endocrinology to be held in Florence, the cradle of Renaissance.
Gynecological Endocrinology is the common discipline which links the various aspects of female life. From fetal life to ageing, the endocrine processes control and are responsible for the development and homeostasis of all organs. The latest advances in technology and research applied to reproductive endocrinology offer new therapies for the prevention of diseases, so mantaining both physical and mental health. From the onset of puberty to old age we now know how to protect and help the female body and mind.
On this basis the 8th World Congress of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology will discuss in Plenary Sessions, Symposia, Round Tables, Free Communications and Poster Sessions, the latest advances in physiopathological mechanisms, clinical aspects and therapeutical strategies devoted to preserve and maintain female health.

The Congress will be held from the 6th to 9th of December in the year 2000. As well as its museums and the Uffizi’s gallery, from Ponte Vecchio to Via Tornabuoni, Florence will appear in an explosion of colours and lights…in all its magnificence.
I hope to welcome you all in Florence and together celebrate the end of the Jubilee Year and the first Christmas of the new Millennium.

Arrivederci a Firenze
Andrea R. Genazzani
ISGE President
