My radiologist missed a mass on a mammogram. My breast cancer is now Stage III. What are my options?

Radiologists are held to a strict standard when reading mammograms, breast MRIs, and ultrasounds. A missed or misinterpreted breast mass that leads to a delayed diagnosis — allowing breast cancer to advance from a localized, highly treatable Stage I or II to a more aggressive Stage III or IV — can support a substantial malpractice claim. Our firm routinely engages breast radiology experts to review imaging and opine on the standard of care.
