Every year the Breast Committee of the <i>Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie (German Gynecological Oncology Group, AGO)</i>, a group of gynecological oncologists specialized in breast cancer and interdisciplinary members specialized in pathology, radiologic diagnostics, medical oncology, and radiation oncology, prepares and updates evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with early and metastatic breast cancer. Every update is performed according to a documented rule-fixed algorithm, by thoroughly reviewing and scoring the recent publications for their scientific validity and clinical relevance. This current publication presents the 2019 update on the recommendations for metastatic breast cancer.

德国妇科肿瘤学会（Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologische Onkologie，AGO）下属乳腺癌委员会，由专攻乳腺癌的妇科肿瘤学家，以及病理学、放射诊断学、肿瘤内科与放射肿瘤科领域的跨学科专家组成，每年都会为早期及转移性乳腺癌患者的诊疗制定并更新基于循证医学的指南推荐。每一次指南更新均遵循经备案的固定规则流程，通过全面审阅近期发表的相关文献，并对其科学有效性与临床相关性进行评分来完成。本文即为2019年转移性乳腺癌诊疗指南推荐的更新版本。
