BackgroundFor over 25 years, there has been a debate revolving around the timing of breast cancer surgery, menstrual cycle, and prognosis.MethodsThis systematic review synthesizes and evaluates the body of evidence in an effort to inform evidence-based practice. A keyword and reference search was performed in PubMed and Web of Science to identify human studies that met the inclusion criteria. A total of 58 studies (48 international and 10 U.S.-based) were identified. We provided a narrative summary on study findings and conducted a meta-analysis on a subset of studies where quantitative information was available.ResultsFindings from both qualitative and quantitative analyses were inconclusive regarding performing breast cancer surgery around a specific phase of the menstrual cycle.ConclusionBased on the Institute of Medicine criteria, evidence is insufficient to recommend a change in current primary breast cancer surgery practice based on menstrual phase.
