Key Causes of Cancer Misdiagnoses
Doctors who are helping patients with cancer must follow the utmost standards of medical care to be certain their diagnoses, prognoses, and treatments are all completely accurate. When they fail to follow acceptable medical guidelines and commit medical malpractice, it can jeopardize the health and safety of their cancer patient.
Three ways cancer malpractice may occur due to a medical provider’s mistakes:
- Delay in diagnosis and/or treatment: Cancer can be a rapidly spreading disease, or one that spreads more slowly. In either situation, it is impossible to overstate how important it is for doctors to recognize the signs of cancer growth early, make an accurate diagnosis, and prescribe their patients treatments to help slow or eliminate the cancer. Any delay in cancer diagnosis will delay cancer treatment, and both could allow the cancer to grow to the point where it becomes malignant or lethal.
- Doctor failed to diagnose cancer: Similarly, it is cancer malpractice if a doctor does not follow accepted diagnosis procedures and fails to diagnose cancer at all. Keep in mind that medical malpractice claims require actual damages to occur, so it might not be cancer malpractice if your doctor fails to diagnose a benign form of cancer.
- Medical/cancer misdiagnosis: In some cases, a doctor may notice all the signs and symptoms of cancer but misdiagnose it as another illness. Even though health problems have been recognized, the treatments will be ineffective or useless because they will be trying to treat the wrong disease.
Understanding the Consequences of Cancer Misdiagnosis
Cancer misdiagnosis can have devastating consequences for patients and their families.
