Pittsburgh Failure to Diagnose Cancer Lawyer

There are cancers that are curable and treatable when they’re caught early. An example of a cancer that is preventable is colon cancer. If a person has regular colonoscopies and rectal exams, they can be caught almost a hundred percent of the time before it becomes invasive. We’ve seen a lot of cases where a person has rectal bleeding and the doctor says it’s just hemorrhoids and later on finds out that it is colon cancer but it’s too late. We’ve also seen a lot of misdiagnosis of breast cancer where the doctor misreads a mammogram or they didn’t know that anybody with a breast lump needs a biopsy and the patient dies because of the delay in diagnosis.
