Update 2010 of the German AGO Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Early and Metastatic Breast Cancer – Chapter B: Prevention, Early Detection, Lifestyle, Premalignant Lesions, DCIS, Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer

[摘要] For the last 9 years, the Breast Committee of the German Gynecological Oncology Group (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynakologische Onkologie, AGO) has published annually updated and evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of early and metastatic breast cancer. These guidelines are now well established and widely used by breast cancer specialists in and outside of Germany. The rating of evidence was performed according to the Oxford Group proposals of levels of evidence (LoE; www.cebm.net) [1], whilst the AGO recommendations are made according to a well defined scale (AGO +/−; table ​table1).1). In addition, we have published a patients' version of these recommendations in order to provide patients with the same information as their physicians. Here, we report on the 2010 update of the AGO recommendations. The full version of these guidelines is available as a PDF slide file at www.ago-online.de (‘Leitlinien’) [2]. We focus on differences to the 2009 recommendations, i.e. on updated and new recommendations with regard to prevention, early detection, lifestyle; premalignant lesion, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS); recurrent and metastatic breast cancer (table ​(table11).
