About Cancer Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

Cancer is often a devastating illness, both for the patients and for their families. Some forms of cancer do not respond well to treatment. There are other types of cancer that, if caught early enough, can be treated and cured.  When these forms of cancer, such as breast cancer or colon cancer, are not discovered in a timely manner due to medical negligence, treatment that could have resulted in a favorable outcome may no longer be possible.  The result may be the untimely death of a loved one.

Signs and symptoms of cancer may be ignored or misinterpreted by a health care provider.  If the underlying cancer is not diagnosed and treated timely, it may grow and spread until it is too late to treat.  Poor testing procedures, incorrectly interpreting test results or failing to order appropriate tests altogether can also lead to a misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis of cancer.  Conversely, when an illness is wrongly diagnosed as cancer, a patient can undergo serious treatment that is unnecessary. A Michigan medical malpractice attorney can review the circumstances of your case to determine if a malpractice suit is warranted.
