Failure to Detect Tumors<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Early detection is crucial. Missing a tumor can drastically reduce treatment options and long-term outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Negligence may include:<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Biopsies are critical in confirming cancer. Misreading biopsy results can delay proper treatment and allow cancer to spread.<\/p>\n

California patients affected by misread biopsies have the right to pursue compensation for harm caused by these mistakes.<\/p>\n

Common errors include:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
