Los Angeles Medical Malpractice and Negligence Lawyer

Cancer Misdiagnosis

There is little room for error when diagnosing cancer.  When a doctor fails to diagnose cancer, or misdiagnoses cancer for another condition, the consequences can be deadly.  Without early detection, a patient’s cancer can quickly advance and spread throughout the body, causing serious health complications and eventually death.  In some cases a doctor may fail to diagnose cancer until the disease has spread to a large majority of the patient’s body, where nothing can be done to save his or her life.

Doctors are trained to identify signs of cancer, and should be held accountable if they negligently misdiagnose a patient.  In some cases a doctor may fail to order certain tests that are commonly used to detect cancer, such as an MRI, CT scan, mammogram, and blood work. In other cases a doctor may order these tests but misread the information. In some situations, a doctor may simply not think to test a patient for cancer in the first place.
