Failure to Diagnose Cancer

When cancer is diagnosed in a timely manner, the outlook is very optimistic. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can provide a cancer patient with many options and hope for the future. When a doctor overlooks a cancer diagnosis or a patient is given a delayed diagnosis, the illness may be more difficult to treat. The likelihood of beating the cancer significantly decreases. The attorneys at Dolt, Thompson, Shepherd, Kinney & Wilt, PSC understand the anger and confusion a person experiences during this time.
