Lung Cancer Malpractice | Michigan Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Lung cancer forms in the tissues of the lungs, usually in the cells lining air passages. It is estimated that during 2008 there will be over 215,000 new cases of lung cancer diagnosed and nearly 162,000 deaths caused by lung cancer.
Despite the familiarity doctors have with lung cancer, misdiagnosis or mistreatment of lung cancer is a growing cause of medical malpractice claims.
Lung cancer is more responsive to treatment when detection occurs early. Because of this, it is important to know the early warning signs of lung cancer, which can include:
- Persisent coughing, or coughing that does not go away
- Difficulty breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Wheezing
- Streaks of blood coughed up in mucus from the lungs
- Hoarseness
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss for no known reason
- Fatigue and feeling extremely tired
Unfortunately, too often doctors and other medical professionals fail to order tests, misdiagnose, and fail to treat lung cancer. Such errors can give rise to successful medical malpractice claims.
