Common Types Of Cancer-Related Medical Malpractice

You may have the right to take legal action if you have evidence of a doctor’s:

• Failure to diagnose breast cancer: Approximately one in nine U.S. women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and early detection is critical to their well-being.
• Failure to diagnose prostate cancer: Because prostate cancer typically progresses slowly and without many symptoms, it is important that physicians be diligent about regular tests and evaluations. By the time serious symptoms appear, the cancer has often spread throughout the body.
• Failure to diagnose lung cancer: Beyond smoking, lung cancer can be caused by environmental pollutants, exposure to toxins, asbestos, silica dust, radon gas and other hazardous substances. No matter how you developed it, your doctor needs to promptly recognize and treat it.

Other common types of cancer that doctors fail to diagnose or misdiagnose include colon cancer, melanoma, leukemia, pancreatic cancer and ovarian cancer.
