Summary
Preoperative dexamethasone reduces symptoms after different surgical procedures including
mastectomy in breast cancer, but the effect in the postoperative respiratory function remains
unknown. The aim of this protocol was to determine if the administration of a single dose of
dexamethasone during the preoperative, could improve respiratory function and postoperative
symptoms of patients undergoing mastectomy in breast cancer.
