What is a Biopsy?

A biopsy is a simple medical test where a doctor removes a small sample of your body tissue to examine it closely under a microscope. This helps determine if cells are normal or abnormal.

There are a few reasons a doctor may order a biopsy:

– Diagnosis: To find out if a suspicious area in your body is cancerous or not.

– Monitoring: To keep track of how a known medical condition is progressing.

– Guiding treatment: The results help your doctor decide the best treatment plan for you.

During the biopsy, you’ll feel some discomfort as a thin needle or small knife is used to collect tissue. There are different types, but it’s usually a quick outpatient procedure.

After the biopsy, the cells are looked at in a lab. This helps provide answers that other tests can’t. It plays an important role in medical care by aiding diagnosis and treatment planning.

Types of Biopsies

  • Needle biopsy: Uses a thin or thicker needle to extract cells or tissue.
  • Surgical biopsy: Removes part of the tissue (incisional) or entire area (excisional).
  • Endoscopic biopsy: An endoscope is used to view the inside of the body and take samples.
  • Skin biopsy: Removes a small section of skin, often with a scalpel or punch tool.

Preparing for Biopsy

  • Follow the doctor’s instructions, which vary by type.
  • Inform the doctor of medications which some need stopping.
  • It may require fasting before some procedures.
  • Sign a consent form.

During the Biopsy

  • Area numbed with local anesthesia.
  • Doctor uses needle, scalpel or endoscope to collect sample.
