Abstract: Breast cancer remains one of the most significant global health challenges, with approximately 2.3 million new cases diagnosed and 666,000 deaths every year. Advanced breast cancer (ABC) - encompassing locally advanced and metastatic disease - represents the leading cause of breast cancer-related mortality and morbidity worldwide. While early-stage breast cancer has seen remarkable improvements in survival rates in the past decade, outcomes for individuals with ABC remain sobering: only 32 % of women diagnosed with ABC survive five years post-diagnosis, and this figure drops to just 20 % for men. The ABC Global Alliance was established in 2016 as a multi-stakeholder platform dedicated to advanced/metastatic breast cancer. Its vision: to improve and extend the lives of women and men living with ABC in all countries worldwide and to fight for a cure. This special edition of The Breast is both a reflection on the past decade of progress across the ABC landscape, and a forward-looking roadmap for the future. It summarizes findings from the ABC Global Alliance's Global Decade Report 2.0 (2015-2025) and the newly defined ten goals set out in the 2025-2035 ABC Global Charter 2.0, signaling a renewed commitment to advancing ABC care globally over the next decade.
