Delayed Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

New York City Prostate Cancer Attorney

Prostate cancer is the second most fatal type of cancer among men, second to lung cancer. As the disease progresses, it becomes more and more difficult to treat, and the chances of pain, disfigurement, and even death increases.

At the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny, we are dedicated to improving the safety and quality of health care for the people of the State of New York, and have experience and a record of success in cases involving the delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of prostate cancer.

When detected in early stages – by digital rectal exam, PSA screening or prostate biopsy – many types of prostate cancer are treatable. When a doctor fails to conduct proper screening in a patient who is a member of a high risk group due to age, diet, family medical history, or other factors, medical negligence may have occurred.

Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis can result in a number of serious ailments, including:

  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of sexual function
  • Pain and suffering
  • Wrongful death
