Failure to Diagnose Cancer

Diagnosing and treating cancer quickly gives patients the best chance to survive.

In New Hampshire alone, the American Cancer Society estimates that roughly 8,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year. Of these, nearly 3,000 people will die.

When doctors miss the signs, order the wrong tests, or make the wrong interpretation, it prevents the patient from getting the proper care they need. This allows the cancer to progress, which harms the patient and limits their treatment options.

The consequences of failing to diagnose cancer are serious and may be considered medical malpractice.

Hold Doctors Accountable

When a patient is misdiagnosed, it opens the door for all sorts of problems that should never happen. Patients may be given the wrong drugs, treatments, or sent home before they are actually healthy.

Holding the healthcare system accountable is important when such mistakes happen. Whether it is an error of judgment or a breakdown in the process, patients need to speak up in order to prevent the same thing from happening again.
