Cancer is a serious, life-threatening condition. Early detection is crucial in ensuring that cancer is treatable. In recent decades, the technology available for detecting and treating cancers has become very sophisticated. But technology cannot do everything: detection still relies on human interpretation of test results, and it is up to a physician or technician to make a diagnosis.
Failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis can result in devastating consequences, including the spread of cancer to other areas and patient death.
A missed cancer diagnosis can devastate entire families
The failure to diagnose cancer is especially damaging because of the very real possibility that the result of this negligence will be death. Not only can the patient’s life be lost, but family members can also lose the emotional and financial stability they depend on.
Legal advice for failed cancer diagnosis
Many cancers are now treatable and even curable if detected and treated in a timely fashion. If it can be proven that other medical personnel with similar training would have responded with a correct or more timely diagnosis, then the treating physician at fault would be responsible for medical malpractice. Schwartzapfel Truhowsky Marcus P.C. is highly experienced and knowledgeable in medical malpractice law and is committed to maximizing your legal results.
