What is a Biopsy?

A biopsy is a medical procedure that involves removing a small sample of tissue from the body for examination. This essential biopsy test helps diagnose various diseases, including cancer, by analysing the tissue for abnormal cells.

How Does the Biopsy Procedure Work?

The biopsy procedure involves several steps to ensure accurate results:

Preparation: Dr Akhil Monga will conduct a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests, to identify the suspicious area. Local anaesthesia or sedation may be used for patient comfort.
Types of Biopsy: Different types of biopsy procedures may be employed based on individual needs:
- Needle Biopsy: A thin needle is guided into the tissue through the skin to extract a sample.
- Bronchoscopic Biopsy: A bronchoscope is inserted through the mouth or nose to collect samples from the airways.
- Surgical Biopsy: For challenging locations, a surgical approach may be necessary to obtain a larger tissue sample under general anaesthesia.

Biopsy Test: The collected tissue sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis, where pathologists examine it for cancer cells or other abnormalities. The biopsy test may include:
- Histopathology: The examination of tissue samples under a microscope to identify disease.
- Immunohistochemistry: A test that uses antibodies to check for specific markers on cancer cells, aiding in diagnosis.
- Molecular Testing: Analyses the genetic material of the cells to identify specific mutations or characteristics that may influence treatment options.
Post-Procedure Care: Following the biopsy, patients are monitored for complications, and Dr. Monga will provide specific recovery instructions.

Benefits of Biopsy

Accurate Diagnosis: Confirms the presence of conditions, allowing for targeted treatment strategies.
Guided Treatment: Facilitates determining the most effective treatment options for diseases.
Early Detection: Assists in early intervention, significantly improving patient outcomes.

Bleeding from the biopsy site
Infection
