More than one in ten women in the USA will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer at some point during their lifetime. Misdiagnosis or mistreatment of breast cancer results in more legal claims for medical malpractice than for any other disease. This illness often responds well to treatment and early detection is the key factor to higher survival rates.

Even after a woman feels a lump and undergoes a mammogram, the carcinoma may still go undetected for months as doctors may rely too heavily on negative mammogram results. This particularly affects younger women whose mammary tissue is dense and a mammogram may miss small tumours. In addition a doctor may rely too heavily on a woman's age as a predicting factor as the condition is more often associated with older women which may result in doctors not taking younger women's complaints seriously.

Medical Malpractice can include misdiagnosis, failure to treat, improper treatment, delay in treatment, failure to perform appropriate follow-up or prescription errors and describes any treatment, lack of treatment, or other departure from accepted standards of medical care, health care, or safety on the part of a health care provider which causes harm to a patient. Breast cancer settlements arise as a result of medical malpractice by healthcare professionals which may include:

Failure to identify an obvious lump during breast examination

Failing to perform a breast examination (during a physical examination or while treating a patient
for other reasons) which would have identified a clinically obvious tumour

Failure to arrange mammogram, x-rays, ultrasound, CT scan or MRI scan

Mistaking a tumour for an infection or diagnosing the tumour as benign

Failure to properly evaluate biopsy or test results

Failure to follow up on test results

Failure to order future tests

Failure to order a biopsy

Failure to follow up with the patient

Failure to determine the cause of nipple discharge

Disregarding history of sharp pain in breast

Failure to recognize common symptoms
