A Shrewsbury man died from cancer after a report showing a suspicious mass in his kidney was filed and never acted on.
Michael Lane, 50, from Shrewsbury, died in May 2021, five months after being diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer and 10 years after seeing a doctor with his initial symptoms.At the time of his original consultation in 2011, Mr Lane had a CT scan which showed a suspicious mass in his right kidney.
His family launched a legal challenge against Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust , which admitted a possible systemic failure with radiology reports. Mr Lane’s brother, Mark Lane, said the main aim of taking legal action was to ensure that steps were taken to prevent similar mistakes from happening again.
Laura Weir, a clinical negligence specialist at Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors in Shrewsbury, said the case had identified a worrying flaw with the trust’s radiology reporting system.
