Protocol biopsies

Protocol biopsies are specific medical procedures where small samples of tissue are collected from a patient for examination. These biopsies follow a predetermined set of guidelines, often for research, clinical trials, or routine checks in conditions like cancer. The collected samples help doctors and researchers understand the disease better, evaluate treatment effectiveness, or assess the progression of an illness. By adhering to a protocol, the procedure ensures consistency and reliability in results, making it easier to compare findings across different patients or studies.
