Advanced breast cancer includes both locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer. The Clinical practice guidelines for the management of advanced breast cancer have been developed by a multidisciplinary working party, with cooperation from a range of special contributors. The guidelines are primarily intended for use by all health professionals involved in the management of women with advanced breast cancer.
