【 摘 要 】

For the last 12 years, the Breast Committee of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie (German Gynaecological Oncology Group, AGO) has issued annually updated 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. Each 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). All AGO Breast Committee members have declared their potential conflicts of interest. Here, we present the 2013 update of these guidelines focussing on changes made this year. The full version of the 2013 update is available online as a PDF file [2] in an English and a German version. Moreover, a version for patients is also available at www.ago-online.de.
