Biopsy Guidelines

Biopsy guidelines provide doctors with evidence-based recommendations on when and how to perform a biopsy—an important procedure where a small tissue sample is taken for testing. These guidelines help determine if a biopsy is necessary based on patient symptoms, medical history, and imaging results, ensuring accurate diagnosis of conditions like cancer or infections. They also advise on the best techniques and timing to maximize diagnostic accuracy while minimizing patient risk. Following established guidelines ensures that biopsies are performed appropriately, efficiently, and with the best possible outcomes for patient care.
