A misdiagnosis or delayed cancer diagnosis can increase stress, disrupt treatment, and erode trust in healthcare providers.
Cancer misdiagnosis occurs when a doctor wrongly identifies the condition.
Commonly misdiagnosed cancers: breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal.
Misdiagnosis can be harmful, even with good healthcare access.
A delayed diagnosis happens when cancer is not found on time, allowing it to grow and making treatment harder.
To win a case, you must prove the doctor was negligent in diagnosing cancer.
Cancer Misdiagnosis: Legal focus is on incorrect or missed cancer diagnoses.
Delayed Diagnosis: Legal focus is on harm caused by a delay in diagnosing cancer.
An experienced cancer attorney follows a clear process to assess malpractice and seek compensation.
