PRESENTATION

Pr Xavier CARCOPINO
SFCPCV President, France

Dr Jean-Luc MERGUI
IFCPC President, France

A word from both presidents : the president of the local committee and IFCPC president

The International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) invites you to participate in the XIX IFCPC World Congress, to be held in Paris – Versailles, France, from June 4th to 6th, 2026.

This will be an opportunity to share the most recent scientific data on the prevention of cervical cancer
and HPV (human papillomavirus)-induced lesions in the lower genital tract. Key topics include:

● How to implement effective vaccination and evaluate the results.
● How to improve screening methods (the role of visual methods, cytology, HPV testing, genotyping, double immunostaining (CINtec), and methylation).
● What information should we provide to patients, and what are the psychological consequences of these virological tests?
● How to manage low-grade lesions, CIN2.
● How to improve the quality criteria of colposcopic examinations, and which classification to use.
● Management of immunocompromised patients and HPV during pregnancy.
● Post-therapeutic follow-up and the management of multifocal lesions (vaginal, vulvar, anal).

All of these topics will be discussed by the best experts from the five continents, allowing us to compare our experiences and improve our practices.

In the magnificent setting of the Versailles Palais des Congrès, we will exchange and share the latest scientific news over three days during a high-quality international program in a friendly and collegial environment.
