In addition, we will also identify grey literatures, such as conference abstracts, and reference lists of included studies. All process of study identification, data extraction, and study methodological quality evaluation will be performed by 2 independent authors. All divergences will be settled by a third author through discussion. All data analysis will be carried out by RevMan 5.3 software (London, UK).ResultsThis study will scrutinize the most recent evidence of radionuclide in detection of BM after BCS.ConclusionThis study may provide evidence of accuracy of radionuclide in diagnosis of BM following BCS.Study Registration NumberPROSPERO CRD42020187646.
