Misdiagnosis

Cancer is a devastating disease for which there is no cure. However, proper and timely diagnosis of cancer can lead to a good prognosis because there are more treatment options available at early stages of the disease. When cancer is misdiagnosed, patients have fewer treatment options, and the cancer can become advanced and spread throughout the body quickly. Once cancer has spread, or metastasized, survival rates decrease dramatically. Cancers are assigned stages, from 0 through IV, with IV being very advanced. Our lawyers have worked with people and their families whose cancer was misdiagnosed and won favorable legal outcomes. These patients underwent more aggressive therapies, and many lost their lives prematurely due to the missed diagnosis. If you or a loved one were misdiagnosed, you have valuable legal rights and are urged to contact Mark & Associates, P.C. today for a free legal consultation.

Types of Misdiagnosed Cancers

All types of cancer have the potential to be misdiagnosed, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, colon and rectal cancer, bowel cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, bladder and ureter cancer, stomach cancer, gall bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, oral cancer, skin cancer, brain cancer, testicular cancer, leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers. Misdiagnosis can occur due to human error when reading diagnostic tests and failure to order diagnostic tests.

Cancer Detection & Treatment

Detection of cancer can be done in numerous ways including visual observation, palpation (of tumors and lymph nodes), endoscopy, x ray, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasound. Other tests for certain types of cancers include the Pap smear and blood tests. Treatment options for cancer include surgery to remove cancer tissue/tumors, chemotherapy, radiation, and biological or hormone therapy. Combinations of these treatment options are often used such as surgery followed by chemo. When cancer is misdiagnosed, treatment options such as surgery to remove the tumor may not be available because the cancer has had time to metastasize, or spread, to other sites in the body and to the lymph nodes.

Legal Help for Victims of Cancer Misdiagnosis

If you or a loved one suffered due to misdiagnosis of cancer, you have legal rights. If a provider fails to diagnose cancer in a timely manner, the cancer can advance to other stages and chances of survival decrease. It is also possible that cancer is diagnosed when there is no cancer present, and victims of this type of misdiagnosis can undergo unnecessary emotional distress and even unnecessary chemo , radiation, and surgery.
