A Failure to Diagnose Cancer Case Calls for an Experienced Attorney

The odds of beating cancer are much better when the disease is diagnosed in the early stages. Cancer may spread if it goes undetected, reducing the patient's chances of survival. This is why it's crucial for doctors to identify cancer promptly. A doctor's failure to diagnose cancer is a devastating diagnosing error for the patient and his or her family. At the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone, we understand how troubling this type of medical mistake is for families in Massachusetts. An attorney can fight for you or your loved one and hold the negligent doctors and medical facilities accountable.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 1,500 people dying of the disease each day. Many cancers do not have a cure, but can be treated if detected early. Failure to diagnose cancer can dramatically lessen an individual's quality of life as well as literally take years away from the person's life, which could lead to a potential wrongful death lawsuit.

Common forms of cancer found in patients include:

• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Leukemia
• Lung cancer
• Lymphoma
• Melanoma (skin cancer)
• Mesothelioma
• Ovarian cancer

You Deserve Justice if a Doctor Has Failed to Diagnose Cancer

A doctor may fail to diagnose cancer by misreading a test, such as a mammogram. A physician working in an emergency room may not respond to the complaints of a patient suffering from the early stages of cancer.

A Massachusetts attorney can work with medical experts to determine whether the cancer you or a loved one is suffering from was tested for in a timely manner and properly diagnosed. If the doctor's failure to diagnose cancer resulted in a significant change in treatment options or chances of survival, we can fight for you to pursue the maximum compensation allowed under law.
