What is a Biopsy?

Biopsy is a diagnostic method that allows a small sample of abnormal tissue, masses or lesions in your body to be examined in a laboratory environment. This procedure is especially important in the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases.

How is the Biopsy Procedure Performed?

Preparation: Necessary tests are performed before the procedure and your doctor will give you information about the procedure. It is important to inform your doctor if you have any allergies or medications you take regularly.

Procedure: The biopsy is usually performed under local anesthesia. The area to be treated is sterilized and given a local anesthetic so that you do not feel pain during the procedure. A tissue sample is then taken with a fine needle or a special device.

After the Procedure: After the procedure, light pressure is applied to the biopsy area and bleeding is controlled. A bandage is applied to the area and you may feel some pain or discomfort after the procedure, but this is usually short-lived.

When are the biopsy results available?

The tissue sample is examined in the pathology laboratory and the results are usually available within a few days. Your doctor will evaluate the biopsy results, share them with you and recommend the necessary treatment.

What are the Risks of Biopsy?

The biopsy procedure is performed safely by our specialists. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks. These risks may include infection, bleeding or pain in the area where the procedure is performed. It is important to consult your doctor if you feel any abnormality.
