Failure to Diagnose

A delay in a cancer diagnosis can result in many medical errors. Unfortunately, some people are diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer after it has advanced. In these cases the doctor could have diagnosed it earlier.

Failure to acknowledge the importance of patient concerns, not referring the patient to a specialist in a timely manner or misreading the results of an x-ray or tests are just a few of the factors that can contribute to a delayed diagnosis.

Unfortunately these errors can prevent the opportunity for successful treatment.
