Often, cervical cancer is not timely and properly diagnosed in New York due to medical negligence. When this occurs, the damages can be catastrophic and fatal. The cancer is allowed to spread until it becomes untreatable and incurable. As with most female reproductive cancers, early diagnosis is key to an effective treatment and the best possible outcome. Your chances of surviving cervical cancer increase the earlier your doctor is able to detect and diagnose your condition accurately. However, if your doctor misses key signs of cancer in the reproductive system, treatment options become more aggressive, invasive, and drastic.
