Cancer Misdiagnosis
Skin Cancer Claims
Medical professionals are trained to spot the difference between a regular mole on your skin and what might be a pre-cancerous or cancerous lesion. When these are missed, they can develop into serious and sometimes life-threatening cancers. If you or a family member received an incorrect diagnosis or had substandard treatment for skin cancer, our specialist solicitors can help.

How does a skin cancer misdiagnosis happen?
This form of cancer misdiagnosis often starts with missing the differences between a regular mole, a Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and a Malignant Melanoma (MM). BCC eats away at the skin, but it isn’t typically life-threatening; MM on the other hand can prove fatal if not caught early enough.
In cases where skin cancer is correctly diagnosed, but the treatment itself is inappropriate, there can be a delay in receiving the proper treatment leading to distress or more severe symptoms.
