What medical errors can lead to pancreatic cancer?

Pancreatic cancer in some instances can lead to lawsuits. In some instances the type of cancer is such that there really is nothing that can be done for it. In those instances, where the cancer is located in the particular portion of the pancreas, it is subject to what is known as a whipple procedure, a procedure where the pancreas is surgically addressed and the cancer is erraticated. And the timing of the diagnosis is critical in those instances. And if the doctor doesn't recognize the symptoms that the patient is having and act upon them, that often can lead to a lawsuit.
