Medical Negligence Attorneys - Cancer

As our abilities to effectively treat cancer improve, failures to diagnose cancer have become increasingly more significant. When lung, skin, kidney, breast, colon, rectal, stomach and cervical cancers are not diagnosed in their early stages, patients' survival chances are drastically diminished. In many cases those patients must endure painful treatments that could have been avoided at earlier stages. In other cases treatment may come too late, and patients can suffer a wrongful death.

Medical Mistakes that Lead to Misdiagnosis of Cancer

There are unfortunately many different reasons why cancer can be misdiagnosed. Here are some of the most common:

• Failure to recognize or correctly interpret symptoms being reported by the patient
• Failure to perform recommended tests, like prostate exams, cervical exams and mammograms at the correct time interval
• Failure to recognize visible cancer cells during exams (for skin cancer)
• Failure to perform biopsies of abnormal tissue
• Failure to properly interpret diagnostic test results
• Failure to respond quickly enough to abnormal test results and begin necessary treatment
