Biopsy

A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken from the body for examination under a microscope. This is crucial for diagnosing and determining the severity of diseases, including cancers, infections, and inflammatory conditions. By analyzing the tissue sample, healthcare professionals can provide accurate diagnoses and guide treatment plans. Patients should consider a biopsy when there is a need to investigate abnormal growths, persistent symptoms, or unexplained lesions.
