Delayed Cancer Diagnosis

Cancer.The diagnosis of cancer is one of the most frightening events that can happen to a person in their lifetime. Cancer is relentless, destructive, and painful. Treatments for cancer can be devastating.

In the last twenty years, modern medicine has made amazing strides in treating some kinds of cancer. For many, the diagnosis of cancer is no longer the death sentence it was only a few years ago.  

But in order for doctors to cure cancer, they must know that it is there. Every day that a cancer diagnosis is delayed is a day that effective treatment becomes less possible and more painful. At Polewski & Associates, we have seen too many medical malpractice cases where the failure to diagnose cancer made the difference between a certain cure with minor surgery and a long painful death after devastating chemical and radiation therapy. There is nothing sadder than to watch wonderful people die-and know that if their doctors had been paying attention they would be living active and healthy lives.  

A pap smear which shows cancer only helps if it is read correctly. An x-ray or CT scan can show cancer-but only if a doctor orders it done. A biopsy can identify a cancer and provide a map for effective treatment-but not if the results never get to the doctor, or to the patient. We have seen too many medical malpractice cases like these. Unfortunately, we know that there are other medical malpractice cases like these happening every day.  

Find an Experienced Attorney

Doctors and hospital personnel will never tell you that they dropped the ball-they will never let on that they should have diagnosed the cancer months or years earlier. People dealing with the horror of a cancer death do not think about medical malpractice lawsuits and almost never contact lawyers with the experience and skill to review medical records to find the truth. Cases involving failure to diagnose cancer are complex, and the medical issues are far beyond the capability of the average lawyer.
