CRD SUMMARY: This review studied the benefits and disadvantages of day surgery for breast cancer. The authors concluded that day surgery for breast cancer was safe and well tolerated with high satisfaction rates, but that further research is needed. Given the poor quality primary studies (as acknowledged by the authors) and several methodological flaws, caution is warranted when interpreting the authors’ conclusions.
