tissue sampling

Tissue sampling involves taking a small piece of tissue from the body to examine it more closely, often under a microscope. This helps doctors identify diseases like cancer or infections, determine the severity of a condition, and guide treatment options. The sample can be obtained through various methods, such as a needle biopsy, where a thin needle extracts tissue, or a surgical procedure. The process is typically quick and minimally invasive, providing valuable information without the need for more extensive surgery. Tissue sampling is a crucial tool for accurate diagnosis and effective healthcare planning.
