Misdiagnosis of Other Cancers
We have devoted separate pages of this Web site to various specific cancers and cancer misdiagnosis claims, but we must emphasize that we represent clients who have been harmed by a doctor's failure to diagnose many other forms of cancer. Some of the more common types we have not discussed that are a part of our practice include:
- Bone cancer (leukemia)
- Sarcomas
- Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma
- Endometrial cancer
- Kidney cancer (renal cell cancer)
- Thyroid cancer
- Tumors affecting the nervous system
As with other forms of cancer, the best way to ensure a patient's long-term survival is early diagnosis of these diseases. The underlying causes of doctor errors in diagnosing these cancers are similar: dismissing patient complaints, failing to follow-up, interpreting test results incorrectly, ignoring medical history and so on.
In any case, if a physician's or health care provider's cancer misdiagnosis has meant a harsher treatment regimen and poorer prognosis, you may be able to recover damages.

Excellence in the Fight for Justice
Our firm accepts only a limited number of serious injury cases at any one time and only those cases that have substantial merit. We do this not because we don't want to help. We do it so that we can honor our commitment to providing better client service, to increasing the chance of success in the cases we do accept and to fundamentally changing each of our clients' lives for the better.
In terms of the malpractice lawsuit itself, our goal is maximum compensation and achieving a final result that has been carefully targeted to address all of your needs. Nothing less will do. We prepare every case for trial and we will not hesitate to take the matter to court if the alternatives fall short of those goals.
If you do have a valid medical negligence claim and we can accept your case, a team of two lawyers, a paralegal and a legal secretary will be assigned to work with you until the case is resolved. This ensures thorough case preparation and better communication throughout the process.
