A biopsy is a medical procedure where a sample of tissue or cells is taken from the body for examination under a microscope. It’s often done to diagnose or rule out conditions such as cancer or other diseases. Biopsies can be performed using various methods depending on the location of the tissue being sampled, such as needle biopsy, surgical biopsy, or endoscopic biopsy. The sample collected during a biopsy is analyzed by a pathologist, who examines it to determine if there are any abnormalities or signs of disease.
