Each year around 37,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer. Oral cancer is a very aggressive form of cancer that takes thousands of lives every year. The primary reason for the high fatality rate is due to late discovery or missed diagnosis. Had their cancer been diagnosed and treated earlier, these people may have had a stronger chance of survival.
Early detection is the best weapon against cancer, and when a doctor’s negligence or misdiagnosis steals precious time from you or a loved one, time that might have been spent fighting cancer, you have every right to hold that doctor accountable. At the law office of TROLMAN GLASER CORLEY & LICHTMAN, P.C., we have fought for New York clients and their families in misdiagnosis and medical malpractice litigation for more than 50 years.
Delay in Cancer Treatment Can Have Serious Effects
We rely on our doctors to recognize symptoms and conduct the proper testing and examination to determine if something is wrong. A doctor’s failure to act on those symptoms can constitute medical malpractice and result in serious illness or even death for the patient.
Delayed diagnosis of cancer steals precious time and can lead to the need for aggressive and debilitating treatments and lower survival rates. The reality is that men die every year from missed diagnoses of prostate cancer, putting an incredible burden on loved ones. Our attorneys work to hold negligent doctors responsible for the pain their mistakes cause.
If you or someone you love has been a victim of medical malpractice or any failure to diagnose that resulted in serious injury, illness or death, rely on our decades of experience to get the answers and results you are owed.
Our attorneys fight in and out of the courtroom to recover the financial compensation you are owed and to make sure negligent doctors are held accountable. Contact our malpractice attorneys online or by telephone at (888) 627-4274 if you or a loved one was the victim of a oral cancer misdiagnosis.
