Overview
- The Court of Appeal of Florence increased compensation to €470,000 for a woman treated with chemotherapy for more than four years despite no confirmed cancer.
- The ruling partially overturned an earlier Pisa tribunal award reported between about €258,000 and €295,000, finding the initial damages underestimated the harm.
- Judges concluded treatment proceeded without definitive evidence of disease and assessed both physical and psychological effects when setting the higher amount.
- Details reported by ANSA and local media indicate the therapies spanned 2007 to 2011 and a later biopsy in Genoa excluded the presence of a tumor.
- Milenio reported the hospital as AOUP Pisa and noted a court-recognized 60% permanent disability, while earlier reports said the hospital had not issued an official response.
