What We Do

Cancer

Claims involving misdiagnosing or a delay in diagnosing cancer are very common. Such mistakes can occur in a variety of ways, including General Practitioners failing to refer patients for specialist review, or doctors failing to interpret radiology or pathology properly (during breast screening, for example).

Examples of claims include:

• Bowel cancer – delay in diagnosis following a General Practitioner’s failure to refer for specialist review.
• Breast cancer – failure to biopsy a lump, failure to properly conduct and interpret breast screens.
• Skin cancer – failure to undertake pathology after excision, failure to excise, misdiagnosis
• Prostate cancer - delay in diagnosis following a General Practitioner’s failure to refer for specialist review.
• Ovarian cancer – failure to refer for radiology or failure to properly conduct and interpret radiology.
• Lung cancer - delay in diagnosis following a General Practitioner’s failure to refer for specialist review.
