- Title
Barriers to breast reconstruction after mastectomy in Nova Scotia.
- Authors
Barnsley, G. Philip; Sigurdson, Leif; Kirkland, Susan
- Abstract
The article focuses on the results of research which was conducted to determine the rate of breast reconstruction in Nova Scotia, identify characteristics influencing access to it and describe the rates of different reconstructive options. Researchers found that the rate of reconstruction in Nova Scotia is lower than rates reported in the United States and that the fact that household income did not influence the reconstruction rate in Canada reflects on the country's public health care system.
