Osteoarthritis

What is osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints. Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative arthritis. Among the over 100 different types of arthritis conditions, osteoarthritis is the most common, affecting over 20 million people in the United States. Osteoarthritis occurs more frequently as we age. Before age 45, osteoarthritis occurs more frequently in males. After age 55 years, it occurs more frequently in females. In the United States, all races appear equally affected. A higher incidence of osteoarthritis exists in the Japanese population, while South African blacks, East Indians, and Southern Chinese have lower rates.

Osteoarthritis commonly affects the hands, feet, spine, and large weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees. Most cases of osteoarthritis have no known cause and are referred to as primary osteoarthritis. When the cause of the osteoarthritis is known, the condition is referred to as secondary osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is sometimes abbreviated OA.

Breast Cancer

Women of all age groups are at risk of developing breast cancer, but more commonly, women above 40 years of age.

Male patients may also suffer from breast cancer. As there is a general lack of awareness of male breast cancer on the part of the population at large, there may be a significant number of cases that go undiagnosed and untreated until it is too late.

However, with recent advances in breast cancer treatments, it has recently been reported by the American Cancer Society that the number of breast cancer patients still alive five years after diagnosis, a key milestone in cancer survival, has risen from 78% in 1985 to 88% in 2000, and newer treatments are sure to push this survival figure higher.

Key to improving survival is EARLY DETECTION through SCREENING.

Learning the facts about breast cancer could save your life.

At Centre for Breast Screening & Surgery, women undergo a comprehensive program of breast screening for the early detection and possible prevention of breast cancer. This includes clinical examination by an all female team, high resolution ultrasonography, digital mammography, and in some instances magnetic resonance imaging.

The Centre is primarily focused on the well-being of the patient, and employs new technologies in breast surgery where appropriate.
