Dallas Medical Malpractice Attorney
Cancer Misdiagnosis:
 |
One of the most damaging of medical malpractice cases a Dallas attorney will see is the misdiagnosis of cancer. Cancer is one of the most lethal and common diseases of all. Any medical malpractice attorney in Dallas knows, more people die of cancer than any other disease. Cancer is always serious. However, for most types of cancer, the earlier a diagnosis is made, the greater the patient’s chances of successful treatment and survival. The failure to diagnose cancer is a serious form of medical malpractice because it delays treatment and potentially allows the patient’s cancer time to spread.
In Dallas, medical malpractice can be the case of missing the ability to catch the cancer early. If a cancer is caught early, the rate of successful medical treatment increases the chances of survival. Unfortunately in most Dallas medical malpractice cases, physicians sometimes fail to detect cancer that a reasonable and prudent physician should be able to detect. In some medical malpractice cases, the appropriate tests are not ordered, or in other cases the results are misread. Physicians sometimes diagnose a lump or tumor as benign when it is in fact malignant. As any medical malpractice attorney will tell you, the failure to diagnose cancer is one of the most common type of medical malpractice in Dallas.
