Failure to Diagnose Cancer
Delayed Cancer Diagnosis
A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the terminal sentence it
has been in the past. With early detection and timely treatment
of colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer,
cervical cancer, and others, the chances of survival beyond the
five-year milestone are increasing every day. Unfortunately,
despite all the screening techniques available, a cancer
diagnosis is sometimes negligently delayed or even mistaken for
another health issue.
Ignoring or misreading the early warning signs of cancer has
dire consequences. The longer a diagnosis of prostate, colon,
cervical or breast cancer is delayed, the more likely it is to
progress at an unmanageable rate. As cancer progresses
unchecked, its effects become more devastating. Misdiagnosis or
delayed diagnosis can lead to loss of life expectancy, loss
chance of cure or survival, more invasive, aggressive and costly
chemotherapy and radiation treatments, loss of income due to
time spent treating cancer, scarring ,disfigurement, and in
worst cases, premature death.
If you feel your physician or clinic has disregarded,
delayed, missed or ignored warning signs of cancer, or if you
have received a delayed cancer diagnosis, you should seek the
advice of a competent attorney to evaluate your claim. At GR,
