Breast Cancer Misdiagnosis
Many post-menopausal women find a lump in their breast. Usually this is a cyst. However, our medical malpractice attorneys successfully handled a case in which the doctor failed to perform the necessary tests to verify that it was a cyst. The lump was cancerous and could have been treated. However, because the doctor failed to diagnose the cancer soon enough, the cancer was no longer treatable when it was finally detected.
