Late diagnosis of a health problem often leads to tragic results, as illustrated by Hatcher vs. West Haven Medical Group LLC, filed on March 9^th in Connecticut Superior Court. Hatcher is a 65-year-old man who routinely saw his primary care physician for regular physicals. For years, his PCP did not offer prostate cancer screening, despite his advancing age and the markedly higher risks for African Americans of developing and dying of prostate cancer. Without the benefits of early detection, Mr. Hatcher’s prostate cancer silently progressed to advanced-stage disease (spread to other parts of his body). Had this PCP not deviated from well-published standards for prostate cancer screening, this father and husband would have a more hopeful outcome.
