  • Title: Osteoporosis prevention and treatment: its relevance to breast cancer patients.
    Author: Hodsman AB.
    Journal: Can J Oncol; 1995 Dec; 5 Suppl 1():28-32. PubMed ID: 8853521.
    Abstract:
    "Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility." This particular definition of osteoporosis was proposed at the Fourth International Symposium on Osteoporosis (Consensus Conference) in Hong Kong in April 1993; it attempts to combine the description of low bone mass with the risk for consequent fractures.
