Biopsy

A biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken from the body to examine it for disease, particularly cancer. This procedure helps doctors diagnose conditions by allowing them to look at the cells under a microscope. Biopsies can be performed using various methods, such as using a needle, during surgery, or through a scope. The results from a biopsy assist in determining the right treatment plan and understanding the nature of the disease. It is generally a straightforward procedure with minimal risks involved.
