Philadelphia Attorneys Holding Doctors Accountable for Failure to Diagnose Treatable Cancer
Certain forms of cancer such as prostate or breast cancer that are caught early enough are highly treatable. Early detection and treatment gives most patients a greater chance for a full recovery. Doctors who fail to properly diagnose treatable cancer, lymphoma or blood-born cancer due to inexperience, lax preventative care or other avoidable mistakes can leave individuals and families facing potentially life-threatening situations.

Treatable Cancers and a Doctor's Failure to Diagnose
Our medical malpractice lawyers offer the background, resources and reputation for results clients need in a case against a physician who mishandles such treatable cancers as:
- Prostate cancer
- Colon cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Breast cancer
- Bone cancer (leukemia)
- Skin cancer (melanoma)
A doctor's failure to diagnose these and other forms of treatable cancer can result in further health complications and medical expenses later, and even death in some cases. If cancer is not diagnosed early, the patient's prognosis for a full recovery is often poor. If cancer is initially misdiagnosed, the patient may have to endure more aggressive and painful therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy to fight the cancer cells. When cancer has metastasized, the odds of survival greatly decrease.
