Cancer Misdiagnosis
Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorney: Fighting for Families in Pennsylvania
Cancer affects 1 in 3 people in the U.S., and a misdiagnosis can lead to devastating consequences. If you or a loved one were told you had cancer, only to find out later the diagnosis was incorrect or delayed, Latona Law is here to help.
Common signs that a cancer misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis may have occurred include symptoms being dismissed without proper testing, failure to order necessary imaging studies or biopsies, or misinterpretation of lab results. A delay in diagnosis can mean that treatment options are more limited, the cancer has progressed to a more advanced stage, or unnecessary and harmful treatments were administered. If you have concerns about how your or your loved one’s cancer was handled, it’s important to seek a legal review to determine whether medical negligence played a role.
At Latona Law, we understand the overwhelming stress and uncertainty that follow a cancer misdiagnosis. Our experienced attorneys work closely with trusted medical experts to thoroughly review your case, uncover potential errors, and fight to secure the compensation needed to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care.

Misdiagnoses can lead to unnecessary and often painful treatments, creating trauma and confusion for patients and their families. In the case of a cancer misdiagnosis, obtaining second opinions and consulting with specialists is critical to confirming errors. If you suspect you’ve been misdiagnosed, it’s vital to seek legal help immediately.
Proving Medical Negligence in Cancer Misdiagnosis
Demonstrating misdiagnosis as medical malpractice is a complex process requiring attention to detail. To successfully prove negligence, it must be shown that a doctor either did not consider cancer as a possibility during evaluation or failed to properly assess the symptoms presented. This is where Latona Law excels. Our attorneys work diligently to uncover the truth, holding healthcare providers accountable for their mistakes.
If a doctor has misdiagnosed or mistreated cancer in you or a loved one, we’ll thoroughly investigate your case, gathering the necessary evidence to build a strong claim. Should we find that your doctor failed in their duties, we will file a cancer misdiagnosis lawsuit on your behalf. The compensation from a successful lawsuit can cover long-term medical care, disability, medical bills, loss of wages, and more.
Common Causes of Cancer Misdiagnosis
Cancer misdiagnosis can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:
- Misidentifying a cancerous tumor as benign
- Missing cancerous lesions during a biopsy
- Failing to refer a patient to a specialist
- Misclassifying or underestimating the aggressiveness of cancer
- Mishandling specimens or misinterpreting results
- Failing to follow up on suspicious symptoms
- Inadequate screening of high-risk patients
- Overlooking or misunderstanding patient complaints
These errors can result in delayed treatments, leading to more aggressive cancer stages and poorer patient outcomes. Early detection is often key to improving a patient’s prognosis, which makes a misdiagnosis all the more devastating.
