Learning from the QUEST multicentre feasibility randomization trials in breast reconstruction after mastectomy

Breast reconstruction aims to improve health‐related quality of life after mastectomy. However, evidence guiding patients and surgeons in shared decision‐making concerning the optimal type or timing of surgery is lacking.
