For those working in the many different clinical and scientific disciplines that make up the field of genital infections and neoplasia, staying abreast of rapidly developing therapeutic and technological options can be a challenge. EUROGIN's aim in producing this journal was to synthesize this abundance of information into a rapidly digestible, accessible format that would be relevant to the many clinicians, cytopathologists, biologists and basic scientists working in the field. Twice each year we will compile profiles of novel technologies and therapies, reviews of important publications and reports from meetings into a convenient reference.
