Until recently, many international guidelines
have focussed on the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, with little
emphasis on advanced-stage disease. To improve the management of advanced

conference and additional groups selected by ESO were invited to complete a
survey to identify current challenges and barriers associated with optimizing
ABC management.
