Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy

A vacuum-assisted biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect tissue samples for examination, usually when doctors suspect cancer or other conditions. During the procedure, a doctor uses a special device that creates suction to remove small tissue samples from a lump or abnormal area. This method allows for the collection of multiple samples quickly and with minimal discomfort. It's often guided by imaging techniques like ultrasound or mammography to ensure accuracy. The gathered samples are then analyzed in a lab to help diagnose the condition.
