When diseases are caught at an early stage, patients typically have more choices and treatment options. In some cases, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis can mean the difference between life and death. When tests or lab results are misread or misinterpreted, the consequences can be devastating for a patient, especially when dealing with diseases that respond much better with early treatment, such as cancer.
