Did Your Doctor Miss Your Cancer That Should Have Been Caught
and Treated in Time?
Failure to diagnose cancer in it's early stages is
one of the most common medical mistakes that doctors make. Many
types of cancer have simple and painless tests that can detect it
early, and greatly increase the chances of successful treatment.
Some examples of tests that should be performed and
properly followed up are:
-
For women, a pap smear for cervical cancer and a
mammogram for breast cancer.
-
For men, a PSA test for prostate cancer or a
proper examination for testicular cancer.
-
For anyone over age 50, a colonoscopy and
several other tests to check for colon cancer / colorectal
cancer.
If your doctor did not perform these tests, or
promptly follow up on the results with additional testing as
necessary, he or she may not have followed reasonable standards of
care for cancer detection.
Contact me for a case review, and I'll work to
secure the medical records as quickly as possible, and determine
whether negligent care took place.
Please call me now at (508)
