No change in bone cancer deaths
(BBC 20/06/2009)
The survival rate of young people with a rare form of bone cancer has not improved in 20 years, say experts. A study has found that only 53% of those with osteosarcoma were alive five years after diagnosis - a figure that has not changed since 1981. Figures in the British Journal of Cancer also showed the UK was lagging behind Western Europe on survival. The Bone Cancer Research Trust said the findings highlighted the urgent need for new and better treatments.
