New York City Breast Cancer Attorneys and Medical Malpractice Law Firm
It is widely understood and scientifically shown that when breast cancer is caught early, it can be treated aggressively with remarkably high survivability rates. Women across the state and across the country are trained to perform self-exams regularly, and if they find anything out of the ordinary, to get in contact with their doctors immediately. So, when that doctor, whether during a routine exam or a consultation, fails to recognize the symptoms and evidence of cancer, that misdiagnosis can have catastrophic consequences.
At the law firm of Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C., our New York City breast cancer attorneys represent women who have been the victim of misdiagnosis and medical malpractice. Time lost that could have been spent fighting cancer can allow the illness to spread and grow stronger, resulting in the need for more aggressive treatment, significant surgery and even death.
Delay in Treatment Can Have Tragic Consequences
Time is of the essence in the treatment of any kind of cancer, and a misdiagnosis that gives breast cancer time to progress from early to late stages can lead to tragic consequences. The reality is that deaths are prevented by early detection of breast cancer.
