The reconstructive team at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre performs approximately 150 breast reconstruction surgeries each year, according to Hamilton Health Sciences. This represents the highest number of reconstruction procedures completed in the region. [1]

Breast cancer awareness campaigns aim to reduce stigma through education regarding screening, symptoms, and medical treatment. Educational efforts support earlier detection, which correlates with higher long-term survival rates for patients. [2]
