There are several reasons why misinterpretation can happen:
Complexity of Data: Cancer diagnostics often involve complex data from biopsies, imaging studies, and molecular tests. Incorrect interpretation can occur if the data is not thoroughly understood. Human Error: Radiologists, pathologists, and oncologists are all human and can make mistakes. Misreading an image or biopsy can lead to incorrect conclusions. Communication Breakdown: Miscommunication between healthcare providers or between providers and patients can lead to incorrect understanding of results. Technological Limitations: Sometimes, the diagnostic tools themselves have limitations that can lead to ambiguous or false results.
