骨质疏松症是个无声无息的疾病，惟许多人认为骨质疏松症是老化的自然现象，未有正视其严重性。研究证明，患者发生原发性骨折（首次骨折）后，接下来的继发性骨折（第二次骨折）的机会倍增2至5倍。 病患在继发性骨折后，生活素质大受影响，行动不便，需坐轮椅或长期臥床，依赖他人照料生活起居。若连续性骨折，死亡率大为增加，对生命造成威胁。 继发性骨折协调服务（Fracture Liaison Services，简称FLS）的设立，乃为50岁以上，从站立的角度折断骨的脆性骨折病患，提供全面性医疗服务，如骨科及内科、饮食及物理治疗等，避免再度骨折。 欲知更多关于继发性骨折协调服务（Fracture Liaison Services，简称FLS），请点击这。

前列腺癌治疗方法有多种，医生会根据病人的年龄、癌症分期及整体健康状况作考虑，制定最合适治疗方案。 近年来兴起的电脑刀技术，用精准的放射线直接打在前列腺肿瘤细胞上，不但可以短时间杀死肿瘤细胞，最重要的是可以避开重要的神经与正常细胞，保护正常组织不受伤害，从而大幅降低手术后所产生的副作用，如造成尿失禁与性功能障碍的机会大大的减少，有的几乎不受影响。 欲知更多关于电脑刀，可拨打03-7620 7979 或 011-3432 1333 或浏览 https://www.beaconhospital.com.my/cyberknife-radiosurgery/
