	Updates on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS2005) Dear friends & colleagues, On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to invite you to the symposium on “Updates on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome” which will be held in Hong Kong on 20 March 2005. Polycystic ovary syndrome encompasses a broad spectrum of symptoms and signs of ovarian dysfunction. Last year, a new set of guidelines for the diagnosis of the syndrome was concluded at a joint meeting of the European Society for Human Reproduction (ESHRE) and the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). The objective of this symposium is to update participants on these guidelines and their impact on our diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. It is also the wish of this symposium to bring in world renowned experts in this field as well as those in the region to discuss the applicability of these guidelines on Asian population, whose presentation of the syndrome could be different from that of the Caucasian population.
