Very Accurate And Important Procedure In The Diagnosis Of Disease

Biopsy gives the conclusion that the presence or absence of cancer cells in the biopsy tissue sample is almost 90% sensitivity. If no cancer cells are found, then the lump or tumor in the biopsy is a benign tumor, so it does not lead to cancer. Biopsy is a very accurate and important procedure in the diagnosis of disease. This procedure will last for 30-45 minutes and is performed by applying general or local anesthesia at the biopsy site. Before the biopsy, the doctor will usually ask the patient to fast for 6-8 hours. This is also one of the preparations that should not be abandoned so that doctors do not encounter difficulties during the biopsy process so that it can run smoothly and with accurate results. The day after minor surgery for sampling or even before one day is usually allowed to go home. The doctor will conduct further evaluation related to the patient's condition and provide more complete information. Wounds from skin biopsies usually heal within a few weeks. However, the healing process was completely completed within two months. Unfortunately, the cost of a biopsy is quite expensive, even for a single procedure.
