Summary
This article describes how a radiology group in Arizona allegedly missed dozens of breast malignancies, some of which were obviously cancer. Breast surgeon Dr Beth Dupree and a team of expert radiologists identified 25 missed cancer diagnoses that required either surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a mastectomy at Northern Arizona Healthcare between 2016 and 2018. The team felt that there was a high chance of the number of women with missed cancers being higher than those uncovered by the review, but their request to expand the investigation did not go ahead.
