Cancer Claims
It is well known that early diagnosis of cancer greatly increases the chances of successful treatment as cancer develops through various stages. Where opportunities for a correct diagnosis are missed and the condition has developed to a more advanced stage the delay may have made a difference to the outcome of treatment and the effect of this could be extremely serious, although a delay of a few months does not normally make a difference. A delayed diagnosis could be because, for example:
- An illness was missed or left undiagnosed
- A wrong diagnosis was made about an illness
- Failed to recognise the cancer symptoms
- Failed to carry out adequate tests such as scan, X-rays, blood tests, etc
- Missing the vital signs of cancer, for example, while examining tissue under a microscope
- Failure to refer for specialist treatment
