Making a claim for compensation due to cancer misdiagnosis / late diagnosis?

We have been instructed by patients who had seen either their GP or a hospital specialist some months or even years before they were diagnosed with cancer and presented themselves for tests at a very early stage. Quite reasonably they consider that had they been diagnosed sooner they would have either had a better prognosis or may not have needed such radical or invasive treatment.

Not all cases of late diagnosis or cancer misdiagnosis result in a successful compensation claim. Our job in these cases is to find answers from specialists to see whether a claim may be made. Some cancers are aggressive and difficult to treat in any event with poor prospects of survival. With less common cancers, it can be difficult to diagnose and accordingly hard to bring a successful claim alleging medical negligence.

Each claim will be considered on its own facts depending on the period of delay, the prospects of effective treatment when diagnosis could have been made and the difference that delay may have made to the outcome.

Please fill in our Personal Injury Form opposite, providing some details of your case, and we will get back to you shortly.

Different Cancer Claims

We are often asked to advise patients suffering from breast, prostate and cervical cancer but also have experience of delayed diagnosis of melanoma, brain tumours, lung cancer, stomach and gastrointestinal cancer, bladder and urological cancers, bowel cancer and Gynaecological cancers.

How can mistakes happen?

Some failures of cancer care arise because of non-referral by a GP or of misdiagnosis, where a hospital Consultant fails to identify malignancy, giving a patient a clean bill of health when they should not have done.

Other failures are sadly administrative and we have seen cases of worrying test results or radiology simply filed in a patient’s records without any follow up. Some patients with a chronic condition which might leave a predisposition to cancer and which needs surveillance are lost to follow up and in the intervening years develop malignant disease. We also see from time to time, errors in pathology where a number of patients have wrongly been given the all clear.

These types of medical errors are never easy to explain and should not happen but are devastating if a treatable cancer becomes terminal.

If you or a family member has been affected by a late cancer diagnosis or misdiagnosis and you think you may have a claim, call us, so we can help you!
