ABC2 Consensus Conference on Advanced Breast Cancer: Brief Summary of the Consensus Panel on Saturday November 9, 2013

[摘要] The Advanced Breast Cancer Second International Consensus Conference (ABC2) took place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 7–9 November 2013. More than 1,000 participants from 71 countries attended the 2 days of state-of-the art lectures on locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer and the consensus panel discussion. This article briefly summarizes the topics discussed at the public consensus meeting in Lisbon on Saturday morning – a more detailed discussion of the consensus and its conclusions in the light of the German guidelines will follow in the first issue of Breast Care in 2014. Under the chairmanship of Fatima Cardoso (Portugal), Alberto Costa (Italy), Larry Norton (USA) and Eric Winer (USA), 41 international and multidisciplinary panel members (table ​(table1)1) discussed the ABC2 statements. These statements included new statements for ABC2, statements of the ABC1 consensus (2011) that, based on new evidence, needed some modifications, and last but not least ABC1 statements that were still considered valid and thus were not discussed again. Given the limited time available on the Saturday morning, the international panel primarily discussed the new statements for ABC2. This report only briefly summarizes the results of the consensus discussion and voting in Lisbon. The final ABC2 consensus with the final written version of the consensus statements and all modified ABC1 statements will be published in the official consensus publication by Dr. Cardoso and her colleagues in early 2014.
