Approximately 12% of all cancer cases are initially misdiagnosed. Mistakes such as these made by members of the medical community lead to approximately 100,000 deaths each year.
Early detection of cancer is the key to survival; many types of cancer are treatable, but only if they are diagnosed early on. Unfortunately, not all doctors or testing labs properly diagnose cancer.
There are many different reasons why doctors do not detect cancer, even when the signs are clearly there. Sometimes doctors fail to order proper tests, to read tests correctly, or fail to order follow-up tests. Also, doctors may misdiagnose the stage of cancer, or fail to treat it aggressively enough. There have even been cases where doctors have diagnosed patients with cancerous tumors, when in fact there were none, leading to unnecessary treatment and medical bills.
