Breast Cancer Misdiagnosis

NEW JERSEY ATTORNEYS FOR BREAST CANCER MISDIAGNOSIS

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, with 200,000 women being diagnosed with the condition every year and some 40,000 women dying from breast cancer each year. Despite the technological and scientific advances in treating and diagnosing breast cancer, preventable medical errors continue to occur more often than we would like.

Breast cancer can be challenging to diagnose, and it is even more complicated and challenging to treat, with treatment options including radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, surgery, and medication. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the odds of recovery. Unfortunately, breast cancer can be misdiagnosed. While early diagnosis is essential in battling the disease, doctors sometimes do fail to properly diagnose the problem.

This medical error can result in more aggressive treatment being required. Sometimes the misdiagnosis can even result in death. If you or a loved one has been a victim of misdiagnosed breast cancer, you need to consult with an attorney for medical negligence.

Breast Cancer Misdiagnosis

According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, as many as one in every four cases of breast cancer is misdiagnosed. That means that every year, tens of thousands of women are given a false diagnosis of breast cancer, and many of them undergo unnecessary and invasive treatment as a result.

This is a serious problem, not only because of the physical and emotional toll that misdiagnosis can take on patients, but also because it can lead to delays in treatment for those who do have breast cancer. In some cases, misdiagnosis can even be deadly.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, it’s important to get a second opinion from a qualified doctor. And if you have any concerns about your diagnosis or treatment, don’t hesitate to speak up and ask questions. Remember, your health is in your hands.

Risk Factors for Breast Cancer

There are various risk factors for breast cancer. One of the most significant risk factors is age, with most women diagnosed with breast cancer being over the age of 60. A family history of breast cancer or abnormal breast cells also increases your risk of developing the disease.

In recent years, genetic predispositions to breast cancer (BRCA1 and BRCA2) have been identified as additional risk factors. Your reproductive history is also thought to play a role in your statistical likelihood of developing breast cancer, for example, women who have never had children or who have had children later in life are thought to be at higher risk.

Several lifestyle factors may also increase your risk of developing breast cancer. These include being overweight or obese, drinking alcohol excessively, and not getting enough exercise. Additionally, exposure to certain environmental factors, such as radiation or certain chemicals – has been linked to an increased risk of the disease.

While there are many possible risk factors for breast cancer, it’s important to remember that most women who develop the disease have none of these risk factors. In other words, breast cancer can happen to anyone. If you are concerned about your risk of developing breast cancer, talk to your doctor. They can help you assess your risk and make recommendations for how to reduce your risk.

If a misdiagnosis has impacted your life or the life of a loved one, call Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq at 800.923.3456 to schedule a consultation. We treat you with the respect and personal attention you deserve while aggressively fighting for you in a court of law.
