• Identify key search terms and eligibility criteria for studies on digital prehabilitation or rehabilitation for breast cancer.

Strengths

• The protocol is clearly structured with defined methods for screening and data extraction.
• The search strategy targets four major biomedical databases and includes grey literature.
• The work is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse.

Limitations
