medical negligence
The earlier cancer is diagnosed, the better a patient's chances of survival. Thus if cancer is misdiagnosed or missed altogether by a healthcare professional, the consequences can be very serious, sometimes including the early death of the patient. Cancer can be misdiagnosed because the doctor:
- does not order the proper tests;
- does not perform an adequate physical examination;
- misinterprets test results;
- fails to identify symptoms;
- loses records and test results;
- fails to recommend appropriate treatment options;
