Biopsy Protocols

Biopsy protocols are standardized procedures used by doctors to safely and accurately collect tissue samples for diagnosis. The process involves identifying the area to be sampled, preparing the patient, and using specialized tools to remove a small piece of tissue. Depending on the location, different techniques like needle biopsy, surgical biopsy, or endoscopic biopsy may be used. These protocols ensure the sample is sufficient for accurate analysis, minimize risks, and optimize patient comfort. Following established protocols helps doctors diagnose conditions like cancer or infections precisely, guiding effective treatment decisions.
