Bone cancer more deadly in NZ

Young adults suffering cancerous bone tumours in New Zealand are less likely to survive the disease than their peers overseas, a study has found. University Of Otago students Victoria Utley and Angela Zhang analysed cancer diagnosis and survival rates for young adults between 2000 and 2009.
While the overall incidence of malignant bone tumours was relatively rare, their research showed the disease had the lowest rate of survival five years after diagnosis - only 46 per cent for 15 to 19 year-olds and 31 per cent for those aged 20 to 24.

Hip Arthritis Information About the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hip Arthritis

Hip arthritis is a common condition that causes problems of the ball-and-socket joint at the junction of the pelvis and lower extremity.  When arthritis occurs, the normal joint becomes inflamed and painful.  There are many different types of arthritis than can cause pain in the hip joint.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of hip arthritis. Also called wear-and-tear arthritis or degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive wearing away of the cartilage of the joint. As the protective cartilage is worn away by hip arthritis, bare bone is exposed within the joint.

Bone Cancer Symptoms and Signs

Bone cancer is a malignant condition that can affect both children and adults. The term "bone cancer" encompasses several different types of the disease, therefore bone cancer symptoms can vary.
As a whole, bone cancer is categorized based on whether the cancer originated in the bone (primary) or whether it spread from another location to the bone (secondary). Secondary bone cancer, or cancer that has spread to the bone from another part of the body, is much more common than primary bone cancer.
