Cleveland Cancer Treatment Monitoring Attorney
Ohio Early Detection of Cancer Lawyer
Taking Away Patients' Options
Cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence. Early detection and proper treatment can give patients a bright future. Many beat the disease entirely.
If doctors and other medical professionals fail to do proper cancer surveillance, however, cancer has the opportunity to grow unchecked. Failure to order proper cancer screening can limit patients' options, robbing them of the opportunity to fight the disease at its earliest, most treatable stages.
Cancer Surveillance Can Give You a Chance to Fight
The medical malpractice attorneys of Mishkind Law Firm Co., L.P.A., represent clients who were not given the chance to fight their cancers because their physicians were negligent.
- Was your cancer in its later stages before it was diagnosed?
- Did your doctor fail to recommend preventive screenings that could have caught the cancer earlier?
- Did a member of your family die needlessly because a doctor didn't do his or her job thoroughly and completely?
Doctors should know the latest guidelines for cancer screenings and surveillance. They should make sure that their patients have the appropriate tests. For women, these tests include mammograms to test for breast cancer and Pap smears to check for cervical cancer. Men should be tested at a certain age for prostate cancer. Everyone should be screened at the appropriate age for coronary artery disease and colon cancer. It is the patient's responsibility to seek regular medical care, but doctors must order the appropriate tests, and read and respond appropriately to test results.
