	CDC's DES Update has hosted a series of telephone conferences on current DES research.


Researchers have published several studies on DES in the past few years, and each teleconference has focused on a particular topic of current DES research. The goal of these teleconferences have been to provide information about ongoing research and to answer questions for the women and men who know they were exposed to DES. The teleconferences all followed the same format, beginning with a brief presentation by a DES researcher, a response by an expert clinician. Following both the presentation and the response call-in participants were invited to ask questions about the research presented.
