Acute Oncology Emergencies Expert Witnesses

Acute oncology emergencies are urgent medical problems associated with cancer or its treatment. They may arise from the cancer itself, systemic anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy. They can also involve an undiagnosed cancer requiring urgent specialist assessment. Cases involving an oncology emergency can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to recognition, assessment, diagnosis, investigations, clinical management, causation and subsequent outcomes. Our oncology expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, investigations and the chronology of events. They can provide an opinion on relevant matters within their specialist area of expertise.
