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.
