Our client, a 58-year-old housewife, sought medical attention from the defendant doctors following a concerning mammogram result revealing a suspicious breast mass. The defendant surgeon performed a lumpectomy to remove the mass; however, the procedure failed to completely excise it.

Eighteen months later, a follow-up mammogram unveiled alarming news—the mass had more than doubled in size and had metastasized to our client’s liver. The devastating diagnosis: Stage IV cancer. The lawsuit alleged that had the lumpectomy been executed properly, the cancer would have been diagnosed at an earlier stage, significantly enhancing our client’s chances of survival.
