Biopsy
A biopsy is ordered by an oncologist in case of suspected cancer to clarify or establish an accurate diagnosis.
Modern medicine offers patients various types of cancer diagnostics. However, there are a number of diagnostic tests that are considered the “gold standard” for early diagnosis of cancer, one of which is a biopsy.
A biopsy is a research method that helps to determine the morphological and molecular features of a tumor, its benign or malignant nature. The most important advantages of this survey are its high accuracy and information content. During the examination, various tests can determine the presence of a tumor, its size and location. However, the biopsy complements the results of these studies with data on cellular characteristics (signs of malignancy, degree of maturity, presence of chromosomal abnormalities, immunohistochemical characteristics). This is very valuable information needed to choose the right treatment methods and predict the further development of the disease. The procedure always involves taking a tissue fragment, but there are different ways to perform it.
Based on the results of the examination, the doctor selects the most effective method of treating the disease.
The procedure does not require hospitalization, the manipulation itself takes up to 30 minutes.

Preparing and performing a biopsy
The need and possibility of any type of biopsy in each case is determined by the doctor individually. The procedure is contraindicated in case of acute infectious diseases, fever, blood clotting disorders, during pregnancy, and some types of biopsy are not performed in case of severe cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the doctor may prescribe a preliminary examination.
No special preparatory procedures are required. However, at the appointment before the procedure, you need to inform the doctor about the medications you have taken before.
