Lesion sampling

Lesion sampling is a medical procedure where a small part of an abnormal area, such as a lump or tissue change, is taken for testing. This helps doctors determine if the lesion (the abnormal tissue) is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The sample can be collected using techniques like needle biopsy or removing a tiny piece of tissue during an examination. Analyzing this sample in a lab provides crucial information for diagnosis and guiding treatment options, ensuring patients receive appropriate care based on the lesion's nature.
