The increasing incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer have led to the necessity of initiating and developing clinical practice guidelines in order to optimize cancer control and provide patients with the best care. These guidelines are either national or issued by reputed relevant European societies—like European Society for Medical Oncology. Many of the recommendations are concordant in-between the guidelines. However, there are still considerable discrepancies to be noted between guidelines from different European countries, which could hinder physicians from implementing their recommendations. The present paper summarizes and compares the recommendations included in the various European guidelines.
