Does the tumor spread when a biopsy is taken?
This is one of the questions our patients ask most often.
There is no scientific evidence that the biopsy techniques used today cause the spread of cancer. On the contrary, a biopsy is an extremely important procedure for confirming a diagnosis and planning the appropriate treatment.
Delayed diagnoses resulting from the failure to perform a biopsy can lead to problems far more serious than the potential risks of the biopsy itself.
