Types of Biopsy

Smithi Sena

A biopsy may be a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist. The process involves extraction of sample cells or tissues for examination to determine the presence or extent of a disease. The tissue is usually examined under a microscope by a pathologist; it's going to even be analyzed chemically. When a whole lump or suspicious area is removed, the procedure is named an excisional biopsy. An incisional biopsy or core biopsy samples some of the abnormal tissue without attempting to get rid of the whole lesion or tumor. When a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle in such how that cells are removed without preserving the histological architecture of the tissue cells, the procedure is called a needle aspiration biopsy. Biopsies are most ordinarily performed for insight into possible cancerous or inflammatory conditions.
