ROME (ITALPRESS) – The year 2025 marks the 90th anniversary of Irving Freiler Stein and Michael Leventhal’s Report, “Amenorrhea Associated with Polycystic Ovaries,” which first described Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This endocrine-metabolic disorder, which affects about 10 percent of women of childbearing age, continues to be a challenge for both diagnosis and treatment.To commemorate this important milestone, the Scientific Association EGOI-PCOS (The Expert Group On Inositol, In Basic and Clinical Research, and on PCOS), composed of 50 international experts, has announced a series of scientific and educational events entitled “The PCOS Tango,” which will take place in several Italian cities and internationally.According to Professor Vittorio Unfer, a gynecologist and co-founder of EGOI-PCOS, the 90th anniversary is not only an opportunity to honor a historic moment in medicine, but also to look to the future of PCOS management. “This is not only about celebrating history, but also about offering new training and updating opportunities for the medical profession. Only through a personalized approach can we meet the diverse needs of patients and close the gaps that still exist in the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS,” Unfer said. Over the years, EGOI-PCOS has stood out for its contribution to redefining the understanding and treatment of PCOS. From reevaluating the very name of the disease to promoting targeted therapies, the Association has placed personalization of care at the center of its activities.Scheduled events for 2025 include: an event already hosted at the WHO headquarters in Geneva; an institutional meeting planned at the Italian Senate in February 2025;high-level training courses aimed at gynecologists and endocrinologists in major Italian cities, dedicated to the latest scientific evidence and the most innovative treatments. “The 90th anniversary of the Stein-Leventhal Report is a unique opportunity to raise awareness among institutions and scientific communities. Only with an updated and multidisciplinary approach can we ensure a better future for women with PCOS,” Unfer concluded.-photo Italpress-(ITALPRESS)
