When should I consult an attorney about cancer misdiagnosis?

Steven North: It's important to consult an attorny when there's cancer misdiagnosis as soon as there's the suspicion or fear that there is the potential of a lawsuit. Most people don't really know if they have a case or not. They do have certain factual beliefs to have a sense that there is that but it's very important that the medical records be obtained timely, and because there are limitations in time it is very essential that that be started as soon as possible.

What is cancer misdiagnosis?

Diagnoses is the failure of a treating physician ordinarily, to appreciate either the signs and symptoms of a condition that are indicative of cancer. Bowel cancer, for example, may be manifest by a change in stool patterns, blood in the stool and so forth. Lung cancer may be evidence by spitting up blood. Any of these circumstances have to be appreciated by the clinician and acted upon promptly. If they don't and if there is cancer and if that cancer metastasizes, that becomes a very serious matter.

Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

The statute of limitations in New York for all medical malpractice lawsuits -- with some exception that we won't go into -- is 2-1/2 years. But in cancer cases it's tricky because if somebody had a mammogram, for example, two years ago and didn't know that there was a lesion on there -- that there was cancer on there that wasn't picked up -- and then they find out about it just close to that statute of limitations, they have to put that in suit right away. New York does not have a discovery rule that from the time of discovery the statute runs. It runs from the last treatment by the doctor, and one has to be specially careful in cancer cases.

Can I sue in New York if my cancer diagnosis was delayed?

In New York, if there's a delay in diagnosing your cancer a viable lawsuit will lie if you suffered damage as a result of that delay. By that I mean if the doctors have more difficulty treating it or it's less amenable to treatment, then you have suffered a damage and a viable lawsuit does lie.

What types of cancers are most often misdiagnosed?

The most frequent cancers that are the subject of medical malpractice involve women who have breast cancer, when they're having various studies done of their breasts and the doctors are always encouraging that we have mammograms and the like. And the mammograms are not read properly or in the general public when there's complaints concerning the stomach and Colonoscopies should be preformed and aren't performed on a timely basis. Those can give rise to medical malpractice. Hi, my name is Arthur Blitz of Shandell, Blitz, Blitz and Ashley.

What are some medical errors that can lead to breast cancer?

The medical errors that lead to breast cancer misdiagnosis are the obvious one, failure to properly interpret a mammogram, but then the others are failure to do a sonogram or an ultrasound, which is sometimes indicated. It may be failure to do a mammogram, which could have or should have been done, and wasn't done.
