WHAT KINDS OF CANCERS GIVE RISE TO MALPRACTICE SUITS?
Failure to diagnose any type of cancer may give rise to a lawsuit if the failure results in a change in the cure or relapse rate. The more common failure to diagnose cancer claims include prostate cancer, lung cancer, melanoma (a type of skin cancer), colon and rectal cancer, and gynecologic cancers (ovary, uterus, and cervix).
