Can I Claim If My Cancer Was Misdiagnosed As Adenomyosis?
You may be able to claim if your cancer was misdiagnosed as adenomyosis if you suffered avoidable harm as a direct result of a healthcare provider delivering substandard care. In the UK, healthcare and medical professionals have a responsibility to all patients to provide the correct standard of care. This is known as a duty of care, an obligation that extends to hospitals, GP practices, and other facilities.
Therefore, you could pursue compensation for cancer misdiagnosed as adenomyosis if you can answer ‘yes’ to the following questions:
- Did a healthcare practitioner have a duty of care towards you? This means that they were either treating you or you were under their care.
- Was this duty breached? We will discuss some examples of how this could happen shortly.
- Did the breach cause you harm that was unnecessary or otherwise avoidable?
If you have any questions about this eligibility criterion, get in touch with our team now to see if you can make a medical misdiagnosis claim.
How An Adenomyosis Misdiagnosis May Occur
An adenomyosis misdiagnosis may occur if a healthcare professional fails to make a referral to a specialist, misinterprets imaging scans, or mixes up test results. Adenomyosis happens when the uterus begins to grow into the wall of the womb and includes symptoms such as heavy bleeding and painful periods. These symptoms can overlap with other conditions, including endometrial and ovarian cancer.
Below, we look at some scenarios which may lead to a valid medical negligence claim:
- Your test results have been mixed up with another patient’s, leading to you receiving their diagnosis of adenomyosis. This delays treatment for your uterine cancer until it spreads further, leaving you with long-term bladder damage and depression.
- You complain to your GP about several symptoms, including heavy and painful periods and pain during intercourse. Despite these being signs of endometrial cancer, the GP doesn’t take your symptoms seriously and concludes you have adenomyosis without ordering any tests. This diagnosis delay allows the disease to worsen, resulting in permanent lung damage.
- Your GP refers you for an ultrasound to determine whether you have ovarian cancer. However, the ultrasound is taken at an incorrect angle, which results in a misdiagnosis of adenomyosis. Your cancer is not detected until it is at a more advanced stage, resulting in the removal of your ovaries.

What Cancer Misdiagnosed As Adenomyosis Compensation Can I Get?
The cancer misdiagnosed as adenomyosis compensation you can get depends on the extent of your pain, suffering, and financial loss. Your medical negligence solicitor may use the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to assess the value of your general damages, the part of the compensation that covers harm. They might do so because this document matches various kinds of harm with suggested compensation brackets.
Our table below lists some of the JCG’s brackets, except for the top row. Please use all entries in this table only for guidance.
| Injury | Notes | Compensation Guidelines |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple Severe Forms of Harm and Special Damages | Special damages may include medical expenses, care costs, and loss of earnings. | Up to £500,000+ |

| Female Reproductive System – Infertility (a) | Together with sexual dysfunction, pain, anxiety, depression, and scarring. | £140,210 to £207,260 |

Can I Claim For Other Damages After Cancer Is Misdiagnosed As Adenomyosis?
Yes, you may also be able to claim for special damages after cancer is misdiagnosed as adenomyosis if the harm you experienced caused financial loss. These costs might include:
- Privately funded medical treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and medications.
- The cost of travelling to attend your medical treatments.
- Loss of earnings, including future impact on income.
- Support from professional carers or family who devote time to being your caregiver.
- Specialist equipment or other items, such as hairpieces, adaptive clothing, and weighted utensils
- Home adaptations, such as adjustable beds, grab rails, and shower stools.
It’s important to keep in mind that you will need evidence of your losses to claim for them. So, be sure to keep bank statements, copies of bills, payslips, and other financial documents.

What Are The Risks Of An Adenomyosis Cancer Misdiagnosis?
The risks of an adenomyosis cancer misdiagnosis include a condition like ovarian cancer going untreated, spreading to other parts of the body, or requiring more invasive treatment.
- Worsened outcomes: If ovarian or endometrial cancer isn’t treated promptly and correctly, it may spread to the lungs or the bladder. In some cases, patients may become infertile if their ovaries or uterus needs to be removed.
- Treatment: A misdiagnosis may require more invasive treatment, such as a hysterectomy. Misdiagnoses may also mean that you undergo treatment that is incorrect or otherwise unnecessary.
- Emotional toll: You may develop depression, anxiety, or other psychological harm if you need intensive treatment.
- Long-term consequences: An adenomyosis misdiagnosis may lead to a weakened immune system, reduced chance of survival, and life-altering organ damage.

What Should I Do After Cancer Is Misdiagnosed As Adenomyosis?
If your cancer is misdiagnosed as adenomyosis, it is important to gather evidence of what happened, prioritise your health, and speak with a specialist medical negligence solicitor to see if you have a valid claim. Here are some important steps you need to be aware of:
Prioritising Your Health And Getting Treatment
By prioritising your health and getting treatment, you will ensure that your well-being is the most important throughout the entire claims process. With that in mind, try to:
- Speak with your GP or another medical professional to discuss your concerns and share any symptoms that you have.
- Follow whatever treatment or medical advice is prescribed.
Taking these steps will not only support your recovery but also create a paper trail of medical evidence. These records can be invaluable when claiming for cancer misdiagnosed as adenomyosis.
Collecting Evidence
For your medical negligence claim, collecting evidence will be vital to prove that you received poor care and suffered unnecessarily as a result. This proof might include:
- Hospital discharge summaries and patient records.
- Prescriptions for the medications you took.
- X-rays, PET scans, and ultrasound reports.
- Contact details of family or staff who could provide your solicitor with witness statements.
The sooner you start collecting evidence, the easier it is to recall events and the harder it becomes to disprove your claim.
Reporting The Incident
If your cancer was misdiagnosed as adenomyosis, reporting the incident could help determine what happened and support your medical negligence claim. You could create this official record by:
- Submitting a written complaint to the private hospital or NHS facility you were treated at.
- Making a complaint to the Care Quality Commission (CQC), an independent regulatory body for healthcare in England.
Keeping Track Of How The Misdiagnosis Affects You
A diary can track how your adenomyosis misdiagnosis has affected you, providing valuable evidence to strengthen your claim. This written record could cover:
- Your daily pain levels and symptoms.
- Loss of earnings or impact on your work.
- Medical appointments and the treatment received so far.
- Travel, therapy, medication, and other expenses.
Seeking Legal Advice
Seeking expert advice from a specialist medical negligence solicitor can help you navigate the claims process and improve your chances of success. Our solicitors can:
- Confirm whether you have an eligible claim.
- Estimate the value of your compensation.
- Handle communications and negotiations on your behalf.
- Offer their services on a No Win No Fee basis as a cost-effective option.
Our advisors offer free initial consultations with no obligation to proceed.
Being Mindful Of The Time Limit
In most cases, a misdiagnosis claim must be started within 3 years of the medical negligence or from the date you discovered it.
