Potential Symptoms of Cervical Cancer
When cervical cancer is in the precancerous stage, there are rarely any symptoms. The only way individuals will know they have abnormal cancer cells is to have a cervical screening test. If early precancerous cervical cells do develop into cervical cancer, the most common symptoms a person will experience include the following:
Vaginal bleeding between menstrual cycles
Menstrual bleeding that is heavier than usual
Menstrual bleeding that lasts longer than usual
Bleeding after intercourse
Changes in vaginal discharge (appearance or smell)
Vaginal bleeding after menopause has already occurred
Pelvic pain
Any of these symptoms could have potential causes other than cervical cancer, and we encourage you to go to your doctor if you’re worried about any signs or symptoms you may be experiencing.

Cervical cancer misdiagnosis can occur due to a variety of reasons. In some cases, a misdiagnosis could occur as a result of questionable symptoms or symptoms that could lead to another type of ailment. Misdiagnosis of cervical cancer could also happen due to improperly reading lab test results. Some of the most common causes of cervical cancer misdiagnosis our team has encountered include the following:
Breakdown in specialist communication – Miscommunication and coordination issues among healthcare specialists can lead to diagnostic errors.
Inadequate cancer testing – Failure to thoroughly evaluate and rule out cancer through appropriate tests can result in delayed or inaccurate diagnoses.
Test selection errors – Ordering the wrong tests or experiencing delays in test requisition can hinder timely diagnosis.
Interpretation mistakes – Misinterpreting test results may lead to incorrect or delayed cancer diagnoses.
Misidentification of cancer type – Failing to identify the precise type of cancer can result in treatment delays or errors.
Misdiagnosing as gastrointestinal disorders – Cancer misdiagnosis, particularly as gastrointestinal disorders like Ulcerative Colitis (UC), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or Crohn’s disease, can occur.
False positive cancer results – Incorrectly diagnosing a patient with cancer when no malignancy is present can lead to unnecessary treatments and emotional distress.
Errors in testing procedures – Inaccurate or improper performance of diagnostic tests can contribute to diagnostic mistakes.
Inadequate patient communication – Not listening to patient complaints and concerns may lead to missed or delayed cancer diagnoses.
Other contributing factors – Various additional factors can contribute to diagnostic errors, including physician workload, patient health history, and system-related issues.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
Benefits of Hiring a Portland Cervical Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorney
Any type of medical malpractice claim presents significant challenges, particularly misdiagnosis claims. Medical professionals will argue, correctly, that they do not always get every diagnosis right. However, that is not in dispute. What our team will examine is whether or not the misdiagnosis of your cervical cancer occurred due to negligent actions on the part of the medical professional.
In order to determine whether or not a medical professional failed to uphold the standard of care expected of the medical community, there will need to be an extensive investigation into the incident. This means gathering and examining all medical records related to the diagnosis as well as obtaining depositions from medical professionals in this particular field.
When you work with a failure to diagnose cancer attorney in Portland, they will completely prepare your case for trial, if one becomes necessary, in order to ensure that you are treated fairly every step of the way.
Potential Damages Available in Your Case
Our team works hard to recover both economic and non-economic compensation on behalf of cervical cancer misdiagnosis patients. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Recovery of all medical expenses arising due to the misdiagnosis
Lost income replacement and loss of future earnings if a victim is unable to work
Physical and emotional pain and suffering damages
Loss of quality of life damages
In the event a person loses their life due to a cervical cancer misdiagnosis in Portland, family members may be able to file a wrongful death claim in order to recover damages for their losses.
Cost of a Cervical Cancer Misdiagnosis Lawyer in Portland
Paying for an attorney does not have to be cost-prohibitive. At Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys, we handle cervical cancer misdiagnosis claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will only pay legal fees if we successfully recover compensation for your losses. The final legal fee for the claim will be a percentage of the overall settlement or jury verdict.
