Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims
Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims are amongst the most common medical negligence claims in Ireland. Wrong diagnosis or delayed diagnosis can have dangerous side effect on the patient.
There are several reasons for a cancer misdiagnosis and how things can go wrong.
Reasons for misdiagnosis of cancer
Misdiagnosis of cancer can occurr due to several reasons, some of which are given below.
- Misinterpretation by health care providers: Errors can play a part in any field, but misinterpretation of the results of medical tests can lead to cancer misdiagnosis claims. Failing to notice the symptoms is a grave error and should be avoided and perfected at all costs.
- Error in lab results: Lab test can be faulty too. The results could be wrong and that could lead to an incorrect diagnosis. To avoid this, tests should be run more than once to reduce the possibility of error. Lab tests should be upgraded frequently to produce results with 100% accuracy.
- CT scans wield no results: Due to extremely small particles, CT or MRI scans fails to detect the disease in humans.
The results for misdiagnosis of cancer could be catastrophic. Incorrect results in medical cases should be avoided at all costs.
Dangerous effects of incorrect diagnosis of cancer
If diseases like cancer are not detected at the early stages, then it can cause severe harm and trauma to the patient. Huge pain and suffering could have been avoided if the cancer was detected early. Not detecting cancer early can lead to prolonged illness. and recovery becomes extremely difficult when cancer starts to spread in the body.
You have to be aware of the terms and information related to cancer to avoid any type of misinterpretation that can lead to serious effects on the body of the patient. If negligence has been made in medical treatments and diagnosis, then you can be fully compensated for it.
