Metastatic Breast Cancer in Austria
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. In Austria, this diagnosis is made more than 5000 times a year (STATISTICS AUSTRIA, Austrian Cancer Registry, as of 24.09.2012). Of these, already 5% to 10% have distant metastases at the time of initial diagnosis, and up to 30% of the node-negative tumours and up to 70% of the node-positive tumours metastasise at a later date.

About this study
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. In Austria, this diagnosis is made more than 5000 times a year (STATISTICS AUSTRIA, Austrian Cancer Registry, as of 24.09.2012). Of these, already 5% to 10% have distant metastases at the time of initial diagnosis, and up to 30% of the node-negative tumours and up to 70% of the node-positive tumours metastasise at a later date. Metastatic breast cancer has not been systematically assessed in Austria to date. This medical registry of the AGMT is thus the first Austrian-wide standardised documentation of this disease. The aim of the registry is to answer both epidemiological and therapy-specific questions. This registry is a prospective and retrospective, multicentre collection of data on patients with metastatic breast cancer in Austria. All tumour characteristics, medical histories and also treatment sequences are documented in anonymised form.
Primary outcomes
- Number of patients with prognostic factors for metastatic breast cancer (10 years)
- Number of patients according to molecular subtypes (10 years)
- Frequency and tumour characteristics of breast cancer in male patients (10 years)
- Overall survival of patients with metastatic breast cancer in Austria (10 years)
