AGO Recommendations for Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients with Early Breast Cancer: Update 2013

[摘要] For the last 12 years, the Breast Committee of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie (German Gynaecological Oncology Group, AGO) has been preparing and updating evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with early and metastatic breast cancer. The AGO Breast Committee consists of 43 gynaecological oncologists specialized in breast cancer and interdisciplinary members specialized in pathology, radiological diagnostics, medical oncology and radiotherapy. The update is performed according to documented rules by thoroughly reviewing and scoring chapter by chapter the recent publications for their scientific validity (Oxford Level of Evidence, LoE; www.cebm.net[1]) and clinical relevance (AGO Grades of Recommendation; table ​table1).1). Here we present the 2013 update of these guidelines focussing on the modifications that were performed this year. The full version of the update is available online as a PDF file in an English and a German version [2].
