biopsies

A biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue or cells is taken from the body for examination under a microscope. It helps doctors diagnose various conditions, including infections, inflammation, or cancer. The sample can be collected using a needle, a minor surgical procedure, or during an endoscopy. Once removed, the tissue is analyzed by a pathologist to determine its nature and guide appropriate treatment. Biopsies are a crucial tool in medical diagnosis, providing vital information about health conditions with minimal discomfort to the patient.
