People often ask me what's involved in a failure to diagnose skin cancer case. And basically
that's broken down into two general categories. There is the failure to do proper screening
of a patient who may be at high risk for skin cancer. Patients for example who have a family
history or who have had a lot of sun exposure in their lifetime and who are not being screened
on a regular basis. There's also those types of cases in which
a patient goes to a doctor with a certain abnormality on their skin and brings it to
the doctors attention and the doctor fails to recognize that it is symptomatic or it
is a sign of a potential malignancy. So those are the two types of categories of
cancer we're talking about when we're talking about a failure to diagnose skin cancer.
