Delayed Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, grow out of control.  Cervical cancer can often be successfully treated when it’s found early. It is usually found at a very early stage through a Pap test.  Medical malpractice cases involving cervical cancer typically arise out of one of the following scenarios:  (1) failure to vaccinate; (2) failure to screen; and (3) error in reading or reporting cytology results.
