Delayed diagnosis and referral

Cancer misdiagnosis claims

Careful investigation where delayed diagnosis, missed referral or delayed treatment may have altered the course of a cancer outcome.

Scott and his team

Careful case selection.
Meticulous preparation.

Each potential instruction is considered on its own facts, with attention to the clinical chronology, expert evidence, causation, proportionality and the client's objectives.

Identifying the lost opportunity

Cancer misdiagnosis claims often depend on what should have happened at an earlier consultation, scan, test result or referral point, and whether that earlier action would probably have changed staging, treatment or prognosis.

Delayed urgent referral
Failure to act on abnormal results
Misread imaging or pathology
Delayed biopsy or investigation
Inadequate follow-up
Failure to safety-net concerning symptoms

Specialist expert evidence

These claims may require evidence from oncology, radiology, pathology, surgery, general practice and condition-specific experts.
