$2.3 million Jury verdict for a 45-year-old Queens County woman after two physicians employed at Elmhurst Medical Center failed to diagnose a large and obvious mass on her left breast as breast cancer.

$1.9 million settlement after jury selection for 32 year old newlywed women who became pregnant with breast cancer when her family doctor gave her false assurances. The women presented to her doctor with a lump she could feel in her breast, and the doctor confirmed the presence of the palpable lump. The family physician never told the radiologists about the palpable lump and the radiologists performed the wrong tests and never examined the lump. The radiologists’ final report told the doctor and the women that she had “benign findings” and “no evidence of cancer.” Soon thereafter, the women had a planned pregnancy with her first child and at 5 months pregnant the lump was found to contain breast cancer. As a result, she underwent a mastectomy and removal of her entire breast while 7th months pregnant, her hormones during pregnancy caused her tumor to grow, the cancer to spread to her lymph nodes, and she lost her best chance for survival. The doctor was negligent for not communicating her findings to the radiologists, failing to follow up even in the face of negative reports, and for failing to get a biopsy of the women’s palpable breast lump or refer her to a breast specialist. According to the experts "the lump is breast cancer until proven otherwise."
