Georgia woman says she was wrongly diagnosed with cancer and had hysterectomy due to labeling error
- Cassandra Barksdale alleges she was wrongly diagnosed with cancer due to a tissue labeling mistake.
- She underwent a hysterectomy on May 15, 2025, believing she had aggressive cancer.
- In September, a DNA analysis revealed the tissue sample belonged to another patient.
- Kaiser Permanente acknowledged the error and stated they are committed to resolving the issue fairly.
An Atlanta-area woman, Cassandra Barksdale, has filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente, claiming she was wrongly diagnosed with cancer due to a tissue labeling error. Barksdale underwent a full hysterectomy on May 15, 2025, after being told she had an aggressive form of endometrial uterine cancer based on a misidentified tissue sample.
The lawsuit states that Barksdale was informed in September that a DNA analysis indicated the tissue sample belonged to a different patient. This misdiagnosis led to significant emotional distress for Barksdale and her family, as she believed she had cancer for several months.
Kaiser Permanente has responded by stating that such an error should not have occurred and that they have implemented measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. They expressed a commitment to work with Barksdale and her legal team to resolve the matter.
乔治亚州女子称因标记错误被误诊为癌症并接受子宫切除术
乔治亚州一名女子卡桑德拉·巴克斯代尔对凯瑟 Permanente提起诉讼，声称因标记错误被误诊为癌症。巴克斯代尔在2025年5月15日接受了全子宫切除术，因被告知自己患有侵袭性子宫内膜癌，基于错误识别的组织样本。
诉讼称，巴克斯代尔在九月份被告知，DNA分析显示该组织样本属于另一名患者。这一误诊导致巴克斯代尔及其家人经历了数月的重大情感痛苦，因为她相信自己得了癌症。
凯瑟 Permanente回应称，这种错误不应发生，并表示他们已采取措施防止类似事件再次发生。他们表示致力于与巴克斯代尔及其法律团队合作，公平地解决此事。
