Misdiagnosis and late diagnosis of cancer are two of the most common types of medical malpractice. They are also two of the most dangerous forms of malpractice because of how they affect the patients.
Because of this, it is extremely important that a comprehensive paper trail exist. Since patients do not know exactly when their cancer metastasizes, the trail can be traced and the responsible party can more easily be found.
