Since 2005, Prof Ray-Coquard has served as Chairman of the gynaecologic group for clinical trials of the French National Cancer Institute (INCA) and she is currently the Network Director of the national observatory dedicated to rare ovarian cancer (www.ovaire-rare.org), a network funded by the INCA commission and dedicated to the management of all rare ovarian cancer. At the Groupe d'investigateurs national evaluation des cancers de l'ovaire (GINECO), Pr. Ray-Coquard has been active in the translational research advisory committee, the scientific committee, the rare tumors committee, and as a chairman of endometrial cancer subgroup. She is the current Past-President of GINECO. Since 2012, Prof Ray-Coquard is the chairman (with Jonathan Ledermann, UK as co chair) of the rare cancer working group from GCIG (gynaecological cancer intergroup) dedicated to clinical trials in the field of all gynaecological cancers. Prof Ray-Coquard is an active member of a number of professional groups, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Association for Cancer Research, the Connective Tissue Oncology Society, the French Society of Cancer, the European Association of Cancer Research, the EORTC organisation and the European Society of Medical Oncology.
