Caring, Established New York Failure-to-Diagnose-Cancer Lawyers
Many forms of cancer are now highly treatable if detected early in their progression, but prognosis and survivability decline rapidly the longer they are left undiagnosed. This is certainly true of thyroid cancer, a still relatively rare but increasingly prevalent condition in our society.
In most cases, detection of thyroid cancer depends on a primary care physician taking patient complaints seriously. Common indicators worthy of follow-up include a lump in the neck, swollen lymph nodes, vocal changes and difficulty swallowing, among others. A doctor's concern based on discovery of a lump or patient complaints should typically lead to a referral to an endocrinologist and diagnostic testing such as blood work, scan and/or biopsy.
Were Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer Ignored or Minimized?
What if you suspected something was wrong months or even years ago, continued to ask your doctor about it, but feel proper diagnostic tests were never ordered? We encourage you to contact knowledgeable Rochester thyroid cancer lawyers at our firm, tell us your story and let us investigate what may have been a serious, actionable violation of the standard of care.
