Improper Diagnosis & Treatment of Cancer

Pennsylvania Attorneys: Cancer Malpractice Lawsuits

Medical science has advanced so far in recent years that many types of cancer, when diagnosed early, can be effectively treated. Advances in treating early-stage breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer and skin cancer have made these diseases survivable in many cases. In more serious types of the disease, such as ovarian cancer, testicular cancer and brain cancer, the chances of survival are greater than ever before.

Even in some of the most difficult or aggressive cancers, there are treatment options that can prolong and increase the quality of the life of the patient. All of the great tools of modern medicine, however, rely on experienced and competent doctors and oncologists to provide the proper diagnosis and administer appropriate treatment.

When physicians fail to properly diagnose cancer due to lab errors or simple carelessness, the disease often wins. If you need effective legal representation in a cancer misdiagnosis case, contact Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman in Philadelphia for a free consultation with an accomplished medical malpractice lawyer.

Failure to Monitor and Properly Treat Cancer Claims

Even when a diagnosis is made, if necessary treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation treatment are not performed, a cancer which at one time could have been easily treated can become terminal. In these cases, our lawyers call upon respected medical experts to support a wrongful death claim based on the likelihood of survival established in cases where proper treatment was administered.
