Oncologists deal with a wide range of cancers including lung cancer, ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer, with some cancers being more common than others. Lung cancer is one of the more common cancers, and cases involving lung cancer might incorporate a failure to refer the patient to a specialist following a persistent cough and other recognised symptoms of the disease, or the misreporting of chest x-rays.
Similar delays in diagnosis might also occur in cases of cancer of the oesophagus, cervical cancer, or throat cancer to name but a few.
Where there are delays in diagnosing cancer, patients may miss out on an opportunity to be cured, or the chance to benefit from palliative care may be lost.
