Study Notes
Biopsy Overview
- A biopsy is a medical procedure to collect and examine a tissue sample in order to diagnose diseases.
- The term "biopsy" combines Greek words meaning "to view life."
- A pathologist, a doctor specializing in bodily tissues and fluids, examines the sample.
Types of Biopsies
- Scrape Biopsy: Tissue surface cells are removed, common in Pap smears.
- Punch Biopsy: A round knife cuts out a tissue disk, used for skin cancer.
- Needle Biopsy: A needle extracts a tissue sample.
- Core biopsy uses a wide needle.
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) uses a thin needle.
- Stereotactic Biopsy: 3D imaging guides sample collection from specific abnormalities; commonly used in breast and brain biopsies.
- Colposcopic Biopsy: A colposcope, a close-focusing telescope, examines the cervix after abnormal Pap smear results.
- Endoscopic Biopsy: An endoscope, a long, thin optical instrument, collects internal tissue samples (intestines, colon, or lungs).
