Were you, or a loved one, recently diagnosed with prostate cancer? Sometimes tests are not always done properly, leading to misdiagnoses. Physicians and their staff are not always diligent in providing results, delaying prostate cancer diagnoses. Learn more from our prostate cancer lawyers.
A Delayed Diagnosis Of Prostate Cancer Can Have Serious Consequences
Delays in diagnosing prostate cancer can have devastating results. Any type of cancer that goes undiagnosed limits your options for treatment. Misdiagnosis can shorten your life expectancy. The goal of being cancer-free presents more challenges.
Here are the most common symptoms of prostate cancer:
- Slow or weak urinary stream
- Difficulty starting urine flow
- Increased need or frequency of urination, particularly at night
- Blood in the urine or semen
- Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
- Pain in the hips, back, chest, or ribs (often a sign that the cancer has spread to the bone)
- Weakness or numbness in the extremities
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
