An incomplete diagnosis can significantly impact the treatment plan and the overall prognosis of the patient. It may result in:
Delayed Treatment: Time is crucial in cancer treatment. Delays can allow the cancer to progress to more advanced stages. Inappropriate Treatment: Without a complete diagnosis, the treatment plan may not target the specific type and stage of cancer, reducing its effectiveness. Increased Anxiety: Uncertainty about the diagnosis can cause significant emotional distress for patients and their families.
