Experienced Lawyers Specializing in Cancer Misdiagnosis
A cancer diagnosis is one of the most terrifying things a person can hear. But when cancer is detected early, the chances of survival increase dramatically. With timely diagnosis and proper treatment, many cancers carry a survival rate of over 90%. That single fact makes early detection one of the most critical responsibilities a physician holds.
Sadly, medical negligence in Philadelphia, PA sometimes strips patients of that life-saving opportunity. Doctors are obligated to order routine screening tests when a patient's symptoms or medical history warrant them. Mammograms, breast ultrasounds, colonoscopies, pap smears, and lung cancer CT scans exist precisely to catch cancer before it advances. When these tests are not ordered, when symptoms are dismissed, or when referrals to specialists are unnecessarily delayed, patients pay an unacceptable price. A cancer that was once treatable becomes advanced, aggressive, and far more difficult to fight.
If you or a loved one in Philadelphia, PA received a delayed or missed cancer diagnosis due to a doctor's negligence, you may be facing overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, prolonged suffering, and emotional trauma. In the most heartbreaking cases, families lose someone they love entirely.
