Failure To Diagnose Skin Cancer

Failure To Diagnose Skin Cancer

Treatment of cancer, including skin cancer, needs to begin as soon as possible to be the most effective. This also necessitates a timely, correct diagnosis. Delays in recognizing symptoms of skin cancer can result in cells metastasizing throughout the region, often resulting in radical treatment and possibly death.

Failure to properly evaluate a biopsy or pathology report or recognize other symptoms may be considered medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with skin cancer and you believe your doctor failed to follow the proper steps of diagnosis, talk to an attorney on the medical negligence litigation team at Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, P.C., in Manhattan. We are recognized among New York City’s leading personal injury law firms. We provide more than four decades of knowledge, skill and experience handling medical malpractice claims involving delayed diagnosis of cancer and other serious medical conditions.

We Understand Complex Medical Issues And Standards For Treatment

Skin cancer, including melanoma, is highly curable if it is diagnosed in its early stages. If a diagnosis is made late, it may result in complications, additional procedures or death in the worst cases. Skin cancer affects people of all ages, not only the elderly.

Even if the cancerous lesion is removed, cancer may spread if removal is not done correctly. Sometimes, people whose skin cancer is diagnosed in a timely manner still suffer extensive harm because the cancer is not treated effectively and appropriately.
