Cancer is not a single disease with a single treatment but has more than 200 variants each with a different treatment and, as some are much rarer than others, it's hardly surprising that cases of cancer misdiagnosis occur.
One in three people will develop a cancer during their lifetime so virtually everyone in the UK will come in contact with the disease through family and friends if not becoming a sufferer themselves.
Because of its prevalence, many people are afraid of going to their GP when they have suspicious symptoms and taking the first step in an investigation, but delay in starting treatment can make a huge difference to a sufferer's recovery and longer life expectancy.
With major advances in diagnostic techniques and medications, the prospects for many cancer patients has increased dramatically since the millennium and research continues to combat this life-threatening disease.
Unfortunately, medical negligence cases occasionally arise over cancer misdiagnosis because doctors and other medical staff can mistake cancer symptoms for less serious illnesses, tests may not be completed correctly, results ignored or misinterpreted, and there can be failures of communication leading to lack of appropriate treatment.
Apart from the usual NHS services, many charities do valuable work and offer advice to help cancer sufferers including those who have been misdiagnosed. These include Macmillan Cancer Support which has branches throughout the UK and a useful website.
If you or a loved one feel you have been subject to a cancer misdiagnosis, through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to make a compensation claim through a specialist personal injury solicitor to obtain restitution and possibly financial help towards continuing needs.
