One of the principal tools available to assist doctors in saving the lives of female patients is the mammogram, a test that checks for evidence of possible cancer in the breast, letting doctors to find the cancer in its early stages.

In the event that the doctor misreads the mammogram the cancer can be undetected until a subsequent mammogram or until a lump is found during a breast examination. While in this time, the cancer may become advanced. By reaching an advanced stage, the woman has a lowered five year survival rate. Consequently the likelihood of her passing away of the cancer increase considerably.Look into the published lawsuit of a woman who had a routine mammogram and was told that there was no indication of cancer.

The second is cervical cancer, a development of cancerous effects in the cervix and unique to women because human males don't have a cervix. The cancer affecting the liming of a human organ is medically referred to as carcinoma. Both breast and cervical cancers are carcinoma cases. Most cervical cases of cancer develop after a woman has been diagnosed with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Cervical and breast cancer is better detected during its early stages of development to avoid severe complications that especially arise if cancerous cells have already spread up to the heart or vagina's surface.
