Paget's News is a quarterly magazine sent to members of the Paget's Association. In the August 2020 issue we celebrate the success of the clinical Guideline for Paget's disease, Professor Wilkinson looks at orthopaedic surgery for those with Paget's and we look at a new genetic research study and how those with Paget's disease can take part.
Current and previous issues can be viewed by logging-in to the members' areaof this website.
"For me, Paget’s came on the scene after going to the doctors with a painful leg and knees.
My golf days had become difficult and in the nineteenth (golf club bar) my friends would advise that a knee clean out was the solution. They spoke from personal experience, and after lots of nagging, I finally visited the doctors which was a rare occasion (perhaps it’s a man’s thing).
Paget's Bursary Research Helps Scientists Make an Important Discovery
In 2017, Jasmine Sanghera, a biomedicine student at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, was awarded the Sir Julian Paget Student Research Bursary by the Paget’s Association, to undertake research into a very rare complication of Paget’s Disease – bone cancer (osteosarcoma). We are delighted to announce that the Sir Julian Paget Student Research Bursary contributed to a paper published on the 13th July 2020.
