Abstract

There have been few lawsuits alleging missed breast cancer diagnosis in Belgium so far. However, since the introduction of the Flemish organised breast cancer screening program in June 2001, one might expect an increase in the years to come. In the present paper, we focus on risk management pointers that minimize the risk of incurring a malpractice lawsuit.
