Biopsy Large

Overview:
A large biopsy involves the removal of a relatively large tissue sample from a specific area for examination. This procedure is often used when smaller biopsies cannot provide enough tissue for diagnosis or when a larger sample is needed to assess the extent of a condition, such as cancer or infection.

What it detects:
It detects abnormal tissue growth, cancer, infection, or other diseases by examining the cells within the sample. This helps in diagnosing conditions like tumors, infections, or chronic diseases.

Who should get it:
Individuals with suspected tumors, unexplained symptoms, or those who need a more detailed analysis of a larger tissue area may need this biopsy to provide a clearer diagnosis.

Sample required:
A tissue sample obtained through a needle or minor surgical procedure is required for this test.

Fasting requirements:
Fasting may be required if sedation or anesthesia is used during the procedure, so follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
