Uterine & Cervical Cancer

Uterine and cervical cancers can be indicated by the results of a Pap smear test, if the results are interpreted correctly.

If a gynecologist makes a correct analysis of the test results, diagnostic actions like biopsies and ultrasound evaluations can be ordered. It is the responsibility of the gynecologist and the laboratory technicians to correctly interpret the Pap smear in a timely manner. If cancer is detected and there has been a prior negative Pap smear, the patient should question whether the slides from that Pap smear were appropriately analyzed and interpreted.

Most cancers are treatable with early detection. It is the responsibility of treating physician and technicians to provide adequate medical care for their patients, including correctly interpreting symptoms, ordering follow-up tests in a timely manner and correctly reading test results. The failure to take the proper precautions, and to perform each of the procedures correctly, as other medical personnel would have done, is medical malpractice.

Under the statute of limitations, there is a limited amount of time after your incident in which you are able to pursue legal action.
