Biopsy
Overview
A biopsy test involves removing a small sample of tissue from the body to be examined under a microscope. This procedure helps diagnose diseases, such as cancer or infections, by analyzing the tissue for abnormal cells or changes. It can be performed using various methods, including needle biopsy, endoscopic biopsy, or surgical biopsy, depending on the location and type of tissue being tested.
Frequently Asked Questions
A biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue is removed from the body to be examined under a microscope for signs of disease, such as cancer or infections.
A biopsy is often needed to diagnose or rule out conditions, such as cancer, infections, or inflammatory diseases, when other tests or imaging results are inconclusive.
A biopsy can be performed using different methods: needle biopsy (using a hollow needle), endoscopic biopsy (via a scope inserted through a natural opening), or surgical biopsy (removing tissue through a small incision or during surgery).
After the procedure, the biopsy site may be sore or bruised. You'll receive instructions on how to care for the area and when to follow up with your doctor to discuss the results.
Biopsies are generally safe, but potential risks include infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding tissues. Your doctor will discuss these risks based on the specific type of biopsy.
