Misdiagnosis of Cancer

|

The accurate and prompt diagnosis of any form of cancer can be critical to ensuring a patient has the best possible chances of recovery. So, when doctors fail to recognize that the symptoms their patients are displaying are indicative of cancer, the delay in treatment can be catastrophic.

Commonly Misdiagnosed Conditions

Even when their patients present symptoms that are indicative of certain forms of cancer, busy or otherwise negligent doctors may misinterpret these symptoms as a less serious medical condition. Should a doctor be wrong, though, his or her patient will have already lost valuable treatment time that may have substantially improved their chances of recovery. As such, it is critical that the following conditions are quickly and accurately diagnosed:

  • Breast Cancer
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Colon Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer
  • Lung Cancer
  • Cervical Cancer
  • Brain Tumors

Since many forms of cancer may become manifest through a variety of commonplace symptoms, even a very astute doctor may misinterpret them. However, there are a number of symptoms that should be so unmistakably associated with the above-listed conditions that most medical professionals would be expected to recognize them.
