Failure to Diagnose Cancer in New York
When it comes to treating cancer, time is of the essence. The later a cancer is diagnosed, the more difficult it is to treat. Yet, despite the advances of modern medicine, health care providers often fail to diagnose cancer at an early stage. If a physician fails to order proper tests or misinterprets test results, or if he or she negligently delays in scheduling surgery or referring the patient to a specialist, it can have dire consequences. A patient’s quality of life and survival depend on how early the diagnosis of cancer is made. A failure to diagnose cancer in a timely manner can result in progression of the cancer to a more advanced stage, shortened life expectancy, or even death.
Below are some common types of cancers that can be successfully treated in their early stages yet are commonly missed due to medical negligence:
- Breast Cancer
- Colon Cancer
- Ovarian Cancer
- Prostate Cancer
- Cervical Cancer
- Lung Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Renal-Kidney Cancer
- Esophageal Cancer
- Skin Cancer
