Bone Health Center
Bone is a living, growing tissue. It is mostly made of a protein called collagen that combines with calcium to make bone strong, but flexible. Various disorders can affect bone health. In osteoporosis, bones weaken, making them susceptible to fracture. Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone tissue. Osteopenia is a loss of bone mass that often precedes osteoporosis.
Breast Cancer Center
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women. It also develops in men, although rarely. Screening methods include mammograms and breast self-examination. Treatment options include lumpectomy or mastectomy with breast reconstruction. Breast cancer may involve reproduction issues because it can strike during the childbearing years.
