New York City Failure to Diagnose Cancer Lawyer
Experienced NYC Attorneys Fighting For Justice On Behalf Of Cancer Victims In New York
There is no cure for cancer, of course, but timely and accurate diagnosis of cancer in its earliest stages can greatly increase the odds of preventing the disease from progressing. While it is not always possible for even the most experienced doctors to identify some forms of cancer before patients express certain symptoms, there is a standard of competence to which oncologists and other physicians are held. When these medical professionals fail to diagnose or misdiagnose occurrences of cancer that their competent peers would be expected to properly diagnose, and patients suffer unnecessary injuries or, even more tragically, wrongful death as a result, those professionals may be held liable for damages.
At the NYC law firm of Proner & Proner, our failure to diagnose cancer attorneys serve Manhattan and other New York communities with aggressive legal representation of the highest standard.

Types Of Cancer Commonly Misdiagnosed By NYC Doctors
Cancer is a vile disease, one that can attack even seemingly healthy people in the primes of their lives. Worse yet, it can manifest itself in subtle ways in nearly any part of the body, which is why it is often tricky for even skilled doctors to diagnose it in its earliest stages. However, there is a certain amount of vigilance expected of doctors, particularly when dealing with patients who have a family history of cancer. Some signs and symptoms point clearly to the possibility of cancer. When doctors fail to follow through in investigating these signs and symptoms, or to refer patients to other experienced doctors who can, they can be held responsible for any resulting injuries.

Doctors are expected to be especially well-versed in identifying the most common cancers in their earliest stages, including:
- Breast cancer
- Lung cancer
- Colon cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Skin cancer
- Prostate cancer
Of course, once the symptoms and signs are properly identified, medical professionals must be able to administer and interpret tests and other diagnostic procedures with a high degree of competence. When x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, mammograms, and PAP smears are not administered or read correctly, the health and, indeed, the very lives of patients are put at serious risk.
