Misdiagnosis and Delayed Treatment of Oral/Mouth Cancer

We have helped patients with oral cancers investigate their treatment and bring compensation claims.  A full investigation can put your mind to rest that you have been treated well and that your prognosis is good, or can result in a claim for compensation to provide you and your family with the financial support you need as a result of the misdiagnosis and subsequent delay in properly treating your oral cancer. 

Please do call our experienced medical negligence team for free today on 0800 524 4349, or email us and one of our solicitors will be in touch within 24 hours.  

Nearly 5,000 people a year are diagnosed as suffering from primary oral/mouth cancer in the United Kingdom.  90% of these cancers start in the lining of the tongue, mouth, or lips (squamous cell cancers).

Oral cancers must be diagnosed and treated early as they can quickly spread to other organs changing the treatment needed and chances of a successful cure.

Symptoms and Misdiagnosis of Oral Cancer 

A mouth or tongue ulcer or sore which does not heal quickly, red or white patches in your mouth or on your tongue, pain, neck lumps, a sore throat and difficulty swallowing or a croaky voice can all indicate possible cancer. 

Your General Practitioner (GP) or dentist may miss or misdiagnose your symptoms and fail to refer you for urgent assessment by the surgical cancer team.  A biopsy might be misreported, or you might have fallen through the hospital's systems for follow up and treatment. 

Claiming Compensation for Mouth Cancer Misdiagnosis and Delay in Diagnosis and Treatment

Our lawyers are very experienced in investigating and bringing claims arising from failures in the management of oral cancer.  It is our job to ensure that your claim is considered by leading cancer experts as well as by dentists and GPs as necessary.  We will be able to tell you whether your medical practitioners have made negligent mistakes and also the likely consequences of those mistakes.  We are nationally regarded as experts in medical negligence in the Legal 500 and Chambers Legal Directories and by both the Law Society and patients campaigning charity Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA).
