"...To this end, in efforts to draw attention to physicians’ valuable perspective on the tools needed to improve diagnostic accuracy rates in cancer cases, the National Coalition on Health Care and Best Doctors conducted a joint survey in late 2012 on the issue. The “Exploring Diagnostic Accuracy in Cancer” survey’s purpose was to solicit subjective responses about misdiagnosis from cancer-related specialists nationwide, focusing on several key items:
- How often participating doctors believe misdiagnoses occur;
- What physicians feel are the most significant barriers to accurately and completely diagnosing and characterizing cancers; The tools doctors feel would help them best combat misdiagnosis;
- Which types of cancer doctors believe are most often misdiagnosed; What issues physicians believe most often lead to errors in interpretation of pathology specimens; and
- Which actions doctors believe would most add to increasing the availability of data on misdiagnosis.
