Breast Cancer Factor Risk
Patients
may complain of a lump,
mass or cyst in one of
their breasts during a
doctor’s visit, or
the physician may notice
a lump during an examination.
It is with good reason
that the American Cancer
Society promulgates the
saying: "Early detection
of breast cancer saves
lives."
When permitted to grow unimpeded,
the cancer spreads and can
completely devastate a person's
life.

Sometimes
physicians fail to take
such patient complaints
seriously or to properly
follow up with additional
diagnostic tests, including
mammograms, sonograms and
biopsies. A law firm can
help guide you through
the medical records. If
your physician has made
one of the mistakes listed
above you should contact
a law firm immediately
to determine whether or
not you have a viable claim.
While
such tests are the standard
in New York, some doctors
ignore these complaints
and claim they are too
busy, underpaid, understaffed
or ill-equipped to handle
the volume of patients
that flow into their offices,
clinics or hospitals. A
Breast Cancer Lawyer or
Breast Cancer Attorney
can help you recognize
these situations. Sometimes,
physicians and medical
facilities disregard the
poor, patients with no
insurance, or patients
with less desirable insurance
coverage. We can help you
investigate this situation.
Failure to uphold the standards
of medical care can result
in the cancer spreading,
increasing the patient’s
risk of losing one or both
breasts, requiring reconstructive
surgery and facing a lower
survival rate. We will
be able to help guide,
counsel and advise you
in regards to whether your
doctor has deviated from
the required standard of
care. Frequently there
are strict time limitations
to commence a claim. We
can help guide you in these
often complex and time
sensitive areas.

We
recently handled a case involving
a woman who had a large mass
on her left breast when she
was examined at a major hospital.
Despite finding the mass, the
physician ordered only a screening
mammogram of both breasts.
About a month later, the patient
was sent for a diagnostic mammogram
of the left breast. A radiologist
determined that the mass was "probably
benign" and told her to return
in six months. Neither the
initial physician nor the radiologist
ordered a biopsy or sonogram
of the mass. Several months
later, the patient went to
another medical facility, where
doctors performed a biopsy
and determined she had breast
cancer. The patient underwent
a mastectomy, chemotherapy,
radiation and plastic surgery.
When the client finally contacted
us we were able to immediately
help her. The failure of the
first physicians to diagnose
her permitted the tumor to
grow and spread to 13 lymph
nodes, significantly decreasing
her chances of survival. After
two weeks in trial, a jury
awarded the patient $2.3 million.
We are proud that we represented this client, and were
able to give her the peace of mind she so desperately
sought.
