Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death for all women. Nonetheless, too many women "fall through the cracks" when physicians negligently fail to diagnose their condition early on. The unacceptable result of this negligence is often the loss of treatment options and/or the loss of chance of survival.

Please keep in mind that the foregoing are merely examples, and are by no means intended as an exhaustive list of failures that may result in delayed diagnosis of breast cancer. Anyone who believes that a physician's failure to timely diagnose breast cancer may have resulted in loss of treatment options and/or loss of chance of survival should be encouraged to consult an attorney as soon as possible in order to preserve and protect their legal rights.
