New Jersey Medical Malpractice Attorneys: Failure to Diagnose Breast Cancer
For many women, seeing or feeling a large mass in the breast is a sign that cancer has progressed beyond full recovery. It is therefore critical that a physician acts appropriately to test for breast cancer early if there is any reason for doing so. If your physician failed to recognize, misdiagnosed signs, or failed to conduct proper tests for breast cancer, you may have a valid medical malpractice claim.

Signs of breast cancer include redness, a lump in the breast, swelling and thickening of tissue. A doctor may dismiss these as simple irritations, or may claim the lump is "normal" and fail to order appropriate tests. When physicians fail to recognize the signs of breast cancer or follow up on suspicious symptoms, lives are at stake.
We represent victims of medical malpractice whose doctors failed to diagnose breast cancer due to:
- Failure to order proper tests
- Failure to recognize or take serious common signs of breast cancer
- Failure to read radiology reports correctly
- Failure to obtain lab work
- And other careless actions
Improper Treatment of Breast Cancer
Even if a proper diagnosis is made, a doctor may improperly treat the cancer, causing additional suffering and possible wrongful death. Our medical malpractice lawyers rely on medical experts to clearly explain what errors were made and the effects of those errors on our clients. We use this evidence to fight for full and fair financial damages.
