Misdiagnosis of Cancer Lawyers
Today, there are many screening tests physicians may utilize for early detection of cancer. Cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or biological therapy. However, successful treatment is dependent upon a rapid and accurate diagnosis. Early detection is the key to most successful outcomes.
The more the cancer is allowed to develop without treatment, the greater the likelihood of the cancer spreading. A medical misdiagnosis or an incorrect diagnosis can delay critical treatments, worsen a disease or even cause death, especially in cases of cancer.
A medical misdiagnosis may be the result of medical malpractice when:
• Early detection tests are not ordered because of cost considerations
• A Doctor hastily offers a diagnosis without a proper medical evaluation
• A Doctor fails to order necessary tests to help diagnose or rule out cancer
• A Doctor fails to properly address a patient's signs and symptoms including:
• unexplained extensive weight loss
• enlargement of lymph nodes
• change in bowel or bladder habits
• unusual bleeding or discharge
• thickening or lump in a body part
• Early cancer detection tests are not properly administered
• A mammogram is misinterpreted or misread by a radiologist, leading to an enlargement or spread of breast cancer.
• A biopsy is misread or does not properly sample the suspicious tissue in question
Common examples of cancer misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose cancer cases our lawyers handle include:
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Breast Cancer
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Leukemia
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Lung Cancer
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Prostate Cancer
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Cervical Cancer

• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Cancer of the Uterus
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Pancreatic Cancer
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Hodgkin¹s disease
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Lymphoma
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose Leukemia
Patients can help prevent medical misdiagnosis by seeking a second opinion, repeating lab and other medical tests, asking questions, and researching the condition and symptoms of the condition the patient has been diagnosed with.
When misdiagnosis is the result of medical malpractice, the medical professional can be held liable for any damages that a patient suffers.
