Failure To Diagnose Cancer
The early and accurate detection of cancer is vital to a successful treatment plan. Because the symptoms of cancer can mask themselves as symptoms of some other disease, it is necessary for health care providers to order appropriate tests and take all necessary precautions to help their patients receive the care they need in a timely manner. Patients can suffer additional harm from the injury, face harsher side effects from more powerful treatment methods, or even die when physicians and other health care professionals fail to diagnose cancer or delay their diagnosis.

At Godosky & Gentile, we hold medical professionals accountable when their failure to diagnose cancer leads to further injury or loss for cancer patients and their families. Our well-known work in the field of medical malpractice led U.S. News & World Report to award us a Tier One designation (the highest given) in their Best Law Firms rankings.
