Biopsies - Overview

A biopsy is the only sure way to diagnosis most cancers.

When a nodule is detected, imaging tests may be 

performed to help determine if it is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).



Using imaging guidance, the physician will insert the needle through the skin, 

advance it to the site of the nodule and remove samples of tissue. 

Several specimens may be needed for complete analysis.

After the sampling, the needle will be removed.



After the tissue is collected, it is sent to a laboratory for analysis. 

A pathologist will examine the biopsy tissue under a microscope. 

A full report from the pathologist will be sent to your doctor in a few days.

The results can take anywhere from 4 to 7 days.



There are several different kinds of biopsies. Your doctor will choose the type to use based 

on your condition and the area of your body that needs closer review.



bone marrow biopsy

If your doctor suspects that there are problems with your blood like leukemia, anemia, infection, or lymphoma..

you may undergo a bone marrow biopsy.Bone marrow is most easily accessed using a long needle inserted into your hipbone. 

Endoscopic biopsies

Endoscopic biopsies are used to reach tissue inside the body in order to gather samples from places like the bladder, colon, or lung.

The endoscope can be inserted through a small incision in your body, or through any opening in the body, 

including the mouth, nose, rectum, or urethra. 

skin biopsy
