Cancer Misdiagnosis at NHS Trust
North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust has been in the news this week, but unfortunately for the wrong reasons.
1600 tests and examinations have been under review for breast cancer screening, after concerns about the accuracy of the results. 8 women previously told they were not suffering from breast cancer have now been advised that they will need treatment.
Such incidents are thankfully rare, but regretably the consequences of these isolated incidents can be extremely distressing for the individuals and their families concerned. An anxious wait will no doubt follow.
