Failure to Diagnose Colon Cancer

When a Doctor Fails to Diagnose Colon Cancer …

Most medical experts recommend that people over 50 have regular colonoscopies so that polyps and any signs of cancer can be dealt with quickly and effectively.

• Did the physician fail to recommend a colonoscopy?
• Were the results of the colonoscopy properly evaluated? Were any polyps removed so they could not develop into cancer?
• If cancer appeared within two or three years of a colonoscopy, did the doctor fail to understand the test results? It takes a pre-cancerous polyp 3-5 years to develop into cancer. The doctor's error could be the difference between life and death.
• Did the doctor fail to recognize other signs and symptoms of colon cancer? Any delay in colon cancer diagnosis can mean a higher risk of death from the cancer.
