Cancer Cases

Bowel cancer

Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK.  Eight out of ten people who are diagnosed with bowel cancer are 60 or over. There are tests which can be carried out which help to identify bowel or colon cancer including colonoscopy, proctoscopy, virtual colonoscopy (CT), barium enema, biopsy, sigmoidoscopy and blood tests. If you have suffered from rectal bleeding, then the appropriate examination and testing should take place which could assist with diagnosing cancer as early as possible.

Breast cancer

Negligence cases are often concerned with the delayed diagnosis of breast cancer.  The outcome, following a diagnosis of breast cancer, depends on how early or advanced the cancer is when it is diagnosed.

Sometimes, delayed diagnosis can occur as a result of a lack of examination, a lack of proper analysis of biopsy and test results and sometimes lumps in the breast are diagnosed as being benign when they are in fact not.

Sometimes, with earlier diagnosis, a lumpectomy could be utilised rather than a full mastectomy.  Sometimes, due to a delay in diagnosis, chemotherapy could have been avoided.  Early diagnosis is vital in ensuring effective treatment for breast cancer.

Lung cancer

Lung cancer causes a great many deaths. Smoking is closely linked with lung cancer but it can also arise from inhaling other toxic substances such as asbestos. Achieving a diagnosis as soon as possible is vital to effective treatment and palliative care.

Sometimes, tests, including x-rays and biopsies, are delayed as a result of negligence by a health professional.  This can lead to a delay in treatment. It can mean that some patients are unable to obtain palliative care to assist with pain relief and personal care. It can also lead to premature death.

Cervical cancer

Sadly, some women can receive inaccurate results from smear tests. Sometimes, the specimen which is obtained, is not obtained properly to allow correct interpretation. Sometimes, a specimen is not entered correctly or is reported incorrectly in laboratory analysis.

Cervical cancer should now largely be preventable through effective screening. Pre-cancerous cell changes do not normally have symptoms which is why it is so important to have regular smear tests.

One of the symptoms of cervical cancer is bleeding from the vagina. Other methods of diagnosing cervical cancer include colposcopy and cone biopsy.

Lymphoma

Lymph nodes in all parts of the body can be affected by lymphoma. Lymphoma is a disease of the lymphatic system but it can also occur to other areas of the body.

Clinical negligence specialists are concerned by the late diagnosis or the late provision of treatment in cases involving lymphoma.

Sometimes, there is difficulty in diagnosing a specific strand of lymphoma. A delay of sufficient duration can lead to additional suffering and/or premature death.
