A timely and accurate diagnosis is the foundation for receiving the right medical treatment.

Failure to diagnose cancer or any serious condition results in failure to treat it

The failure to diagnose medical conditions is a severe error of omission that can lead to serious injuries such as the following:

• Patients can die prematurely when the lack of a diagnosis fails to provide the immediate treatment they need.
• Misdiagnosis amounts to failure to diagnose, and can subject patients to dangerous medications or treatments or even create new medical concerns.
• Failure to refer patients to the appropriate specialist also amounts to failure to diagnose and can lead to delayed treatment and even wrongful death.

Statistics show many cancers are commonly misdiagnosed. However, it can often be difficult to prove.
