Biopsy or sample collection
Biopsy or Sample Collection:
In cases where the origin or nature of the lesion is unclear, a biopsy of the lesion is required.
In recent decades, biopsy procedures have been performed using non-surgical methods. Biopsy, guided by ultrasound or CT scan, is carried out by inserting a specialized biopsy needle into the lesion. This method does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization. It is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Using this technique, samples can be obtained from various areas such as the liver, lungs, bones, prostate, glands, breast, kidneys, pancreas, thyroid, and more.
Necessary Preparations for Biopsy:
Carrying the relevant imaging documents.
Fasting for 3 hours.
Carrying coagulation test results
The presence of one companion is required for administrative procedures.
Biopsy Complications:
There is a possibility of bleeding and infection. In the event of a drop in blood pressure or severe pain in the affected area, the relevant physician will be informed, and necessary measures will be taken.
If you experience fever and chills after the biopsy, inform your treating physician so that appropriate measures can be taken.
Attention:
After submitting the sample from the clinic along with the physician’s request, you will be referred to pathology for evaluation of the collected sample.
After receiving the pathology results, consult your treating physician to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
