Medical malpractice cases stemming from delayed cancer diagnosis in Portland typically involve complex issues related to liability, medical causation, and damages. As with any medical malpractice claim, the first step is determining whether the delayed diagnosis was the result of negligence. Depending upon the type of cancer, the five-year survival rate may not change if the delay did not cause change in the staging of the cancer. In many jurisdictions, the loss (or lessening) of chance of survival is cognizable injury, even if the chance of survival would not have been over fifty percent in the absence of negligence.
