Unfortunately, Malpractice and Negligence occur
all too often in dealing with different types of Cancer.
More than
one in ten women in the USA will be diagnosed with Breast
Cancer at some point during their lifetime. Misdiagnosis or mistreatment
of breast cancer results in more legal claims for medical malpractice
than for any other disease. This illness often responds well to
treatment and early detection is the key factor to higher survival
rates.
Every year over 20,000 people in the US will be
diagnosed as suffering from stomach
cancer which can be difficult
to detect.
Cervical
Cancer is regarded by the medical profession
as a preventable disease because pre-cancerous changes can be detected
by pap smears obtained during routine pelvic examinations. Significant
advances in medical knowledge have made it possible to effectively
prevent and treat this illness through early detection, and thereby
minimize the effects.
Colon Cancer is the second highest cause of cancer
death in the United States and failure of diagnosis is one of the
most frequent causes of medical malpractice claims.
Lung Cancer is usually diagnosed by a biopsy which
is the removal of a small sample of tissue for examination under
a microscope by a pathologist.
Ovarian Cancer is a malignant tumor that can spread
to other tissues and organs including the peritoneum and the diaphragm
and can also enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system and travel
to other parts of the body.
Prostate
Cancer is the most common malignancy
in men. Almost 200,000 cases are diagnosed in the USA every year
and over 15,000 men will die from this disease.
