Did you know that U.S. women have a 13 percent chance of developing breast cancer during their lives? Approximately 310,000 new breast cancer cases are diagnosed, and around 42,250 women die each year from this deadly disease. Survival rates are highest when diagnosed and treated at an early stage before the cancer spreads to other parts of the body. Mammography is a common diagnostic tool, along with ultrasound, MRI, blood tests, and biopsy.
What happens if a medical professional misdiagnoses breast cancer? Can you get compensation through a medical malpractice claim? The compassionate attorneys from Newland & Newland, LLP can evaluate your case and help you determine your legal options.
