Cancer Misdiagnosis or Cancer Diagnosis Delay

When it comes to fighting cancer, early detection and treatment are of the utmost importance. Any delay in diagnosing the disease, ordering necessary medical tests, or administering proper treatment gives cancer time to spread throughout the body. Sadly, cancer is too often misdiagnosed or undetected until it has reached such an advanced stage that the patient's chances for recovery are slim.

There is no excuse for a physician ignoring symptoms or failing to administer inexpensive, routine tests to detect common cancers. Common types of misdiagnosed cancer include:

• Breast Cancer
• Colorectal Cancer
• Cervical Cancer
• Skin Cancer or Melanoma
• Bone Cancer or Sarcoma
• Prostate Cancer

Your physician's failure to detect or diagnose your cancer or order pre-cancer screening or diagnostic tests in a timely manner may be grounds for a Michigan medical malpractice lawsuit.
