Abstract
Purpose
The theme of the 15th St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference 2017 in Vienna, Austria was about seeking where appropriate to escalate or de-escalate therapies for early breast cancer based on the up-to-date information of loco-regional and systemic therapies. Along with this line, a group of Egyptian experts decided to arrange for a consensus session to elicit the differences and similarities in therapy recommendations for early breast cancer in Egypt compared to the original Saint Gallen voting and recommendations.
Methods
During the Egyptian National Cancer Institute's Annual Congress held in November 2017, 30 Egyptian scientists and clinicians from different specialties gathered in a special session and voted on the same questions of the original 15th St. Gallen consensus. Therapies were discussed from different aspects including their intensity, duration, and side effects, and were correlated with tumor stage and tumor biology.
Results and conclusions
This report summarizes the voting questions and resulting percentages of answers of the Egyptian scientists. Interestingly the differences were minimal between the Cairo and original Saint Gallen Consensus denoting a more global view of breast cancer management all over the world.
