Failure To Diagnose Breast Cancer In Phoenix And Throughout Arizona
A radiologist, physician or pathologist may fail to diagnose breast cancer by:
- Failing to order a mammogram for a patient with a suspicious breast lump
- Wrongly interpreting an imaging study revealing a cancerous mass
- Failing to interpret tissue samples that may be suggestive of cancerous cells
In order to win a medical malpractice case, it must be demonstrated that a physician failed to diagnose/treat the cancer and that the negligence was a cause of the prognosis being worse/death. This demonstration requires the expertise of an experienced lawyer.
We have represented clients in some of the most complex misdiagnosis cases in Arizona, and are willing to take our advocacy based on comprehensive discovery and trial preparation to do whatever is possible to compensate you and your loved ones if you have been the victim of a tragic misdiagnosis. We always strive to bring compassionate advocacy to each case, and encourage you to reach out as soon as possible.
