Cervical Cancer Malpractice
At Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C., we handle a wide range of medical malpractice issues, including failure to diagnose cancer.
Cervical exams and Pap smear tests are important means of detecting cervical cancer early-on. When doctors fail to take these routine precautions, the cancer can spread to other areas of the body. Cervical cancer malpractice can happen when doctors or lab technicians fail to:
- Recognize pre-cancerous symptoms such as vaginal bleeding
- Perform regular cervical exams
- Perform a Pap smear test
- Correctly interpret the results of a Pap smear
- Perform a biopsy of abnormal tissue.
- Begin treatment in a timely manner
The slow development of cervical cancer can give physicians ample opportunity to detect the disease early. The failure to take these necessary steps can give the cancer a "head start" and make treatment far more difficult and risky. If left undetected and untreated for too long, the result can be an unnecessary premature death.
