Delay in Cancer Diagnosis Claims

We have considerable experience in dealing with medical negligence claims arising from delay in diagnosis of cancer and our expert team can understand the added emotional strain of a late diagnosis.

Delay in cancer diagnosis

The diagnosis of cancer is always a devastating time for both the patient and their family. However, the news can be even more distressing if there has been a delay in the diagnosis of a patient’s illness.

The delay in cancer diagnosis can be caused by a GP failing to refer a patient to hospital for investigation, or a hospital can be at fault by failing to carry out appropriate tests, follow up test results or correctly report x-rays and scans. A late diagnosis of cancer can mean that a person’s prospects of recovery are reduced, or the treatment that they need is more extensive than if their condition had been recognised sooner.
