Cancer cases
Nowadays, advances in
medicine have meant that many cancers are now
treatable. However, this is reliant on when the cancer
is diagnosed and when the appropriate treatment is
commenced. The earliest possible detection of cancer
can be very important and will sometimes be the key to whether the
person will make a recovery or not.
When there is a delay in
diagnosing cancer, a person may be deprived of their chance for
treatment and / or cure. They may also be deprived of
the opportunity for palliative care.
Medical negligence claims
involving cancer can often involve one of the following factors
- Failing to diagnose cancer
This can be due to a
Doctor missing or misinterpreting symptoms or misinterpreting
test results.
This could be caused by
delay in referring someone to a specialist, failing to act quickly
enough in relation to test results or delay in carrying out
biopsies, amongst other.
Some people may be
diagnosed as having cancer when they do not in fact have
it. This could lead to evasive and painful treatment
such as chemotherapy being carried out unnecessarily.
If you feel that you have
suffered as a result of one of the above, you can contact a member
of our Specialist Team on 029 2039 1132.
