- This year's 19th St. Gallen (SG) consensus conference on the treatment of patients with early breast cancer (SGBCC: St. Gallen Breast Cancer Conference) is based on numerous patient examples, each with different variables, to reflect the increasingly personalized treatment decision for early breast cancer. More than ever, not only breast cancer subtype, performance status, age and life expectancy are considered as individual factors, but various molecular and genetic variables are also part of the treatment decision. In this manuscript, the SGBCC voting results are discussed by a German group of breast cancer specialists in the context of the recently (2025) updated treatment recommendations of the Commission of the Gynecological Oncology Working Group (AGO Mamma). The German treatment recommendations are based on current evidence. As the international panel of the SGBCC consists of experts from different countries and disciplines, the votes represent an international cross-section ofThis year's 19th St. Gallen (SG) consensus conference on the treatment of patients with early breast cancer (SGBCC: St. Gallen Breast Cancer Conference) is based on numerous patient examples, each with different variables, to reflect the increasingly personalized treatment decision for early breast cancer.
