An award of $3,000,000 by a Westchester County jury to the Estate of a 30 year old single woman who died as a result of a delay in diagnosis of infiltrating squamous cell anal cancer. The jury found that a surgeon who treated the young woman for recurring perianal infections and fistulas for over two years departed from accepted standards of care for failing to biopsy tissue, depriving her of a 90% chance of a cure. (Settled pursuant to a pre-verdict high/low agreement.)
