Has a Doctor's Mistake Affected Cancer Prognosis?
Timely diagnosis of cancer - and thus timely treatment - can greatly affect the results of how a patient responds to treatment and if the patient is capable of making full recovery.
- Did the doctor fail to inform you that a biopsy was necessary to rule out breast cancer?
- Was a CT scan, blood test, mammogram, biopsy or other diagnostic test ordered when warranted?
- Were test results misinterpreted?
- Were symptoms dismissed without requesting additional testing or follow-up?
- Was family medical history taken into consideration?
At the law office of Cohen & Feeley, we understand that there are situations where the doctors do everything right - to no avail. Proper tests were performed and in a timely manner, yet the patient still underwent terrible suffering and ultimately lost the battle. However, when a doctor fails to order further testing or fails to refer to a specialist when warranted, critical months can be lost before the condition is diagnosed and treated. With the speed at which the cancer can spread, those months can mean a significant difference in the life of the patient.
