The Failure to Diagnose Cancer,
Misdiagnosis, Delayed Diagnosis, and Treatment Errors
Alton & Barclay — Columbus, Ohio, Trial Lawyers
Properly diagnosing cancer in its early stages, while there is still time to treat it effectively, is all about the details. And while no one can reasonably expect doctors to catch every possible illness someone may have, the details found on X-rays, that are deducible from a patient's age or symptoms, and that can be read between the lines of family medical histories, do establish a standard of care.
What that means is that being busy is no excuse for a failure to diagnose cancer, a misdiagnosis, or a delayed diagnosis, whenever the obvious signs are there.
If you or someone close to you has been irreparably harmed by a doctor's failure to diagnose cancer, misdiagnosis, or improper treatment regimen, contact the experienced medical malpractice attorneys of Alton & Barclay today.
Answering the Tough Questions
Our firm handles medical malpractice cases involving the failure to diagnose cancer, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and cancer treatment errors on behalf of people throughout the state of Ohio.
Whatever type of cancer is involved — breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, brain cancer, or skin or other cancer — certain questions must be asked to determine whether there was negligence and a deviation from standard medical practices. These include:
- What symptoms had you been experiencing?
- Should the information you provided regarding your family medical history have reasonably revealed a genetic or hereditary predisposition to certain cancers?
- Were X-rays taken at any time?
- Were proper screening procedures done based on your age, symptoms and family medical history?

As a result, they have been able to build strong working relationships with a number of qualified medical experts who understand these illnesses from a medical perspective and what the proper course of treatment is.
