Résumé

Abstract Purpose: One of the most important meetings in the field of developing clinical guidelines for early management for breast cancer is the 18th St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference that was held in March 2023. To tailor these guidelines to suit clinical practice of oncologists in Egypt, an Egyptian Panel were asked to vote on most of the questions of the original St. Gallen consensus. Methods: The panel consisted of 76 different oncology specialists. 100 questions were assembled and then projected on the monkey survey website. The answers were analyzed in relation to the answers of the St. Gallen panel, 2023. Results and conclusions: A consensus (≥ 50% approval) among Egyptian panel was reached in answering 71/100 questions denoting the need of more research tackling different problems in taking care of patients having early breast cancer. Comparing answers of both St. Gallen and Egyptian panel to common questions, no consensus was only in 9 out of the 100 questions. So, St. Gallen recommendations are becoming more and more applicable to most countries even with different levels of income and healthcare scenarios.
