Overview

Biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tumors. The tumor is then staged into benign and malignant tumors.

Biopsy

Biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tumors.^[1]^[2]

Prerequisites for a Biopsy

CBC, platelets and coagulation studies should be done.
Cross-sectional imaging to evaluate local anatomy such CT scan and MRI.
Treatment center carrying out biopsy must be capable of proper diagnosis and treatment.
The surgeon who performs biopsy should preferably be the one who is later going to do the final excision.

Technique

Open
Closed

Open Technique

The tumor is surgically exposed and biopsy of the tumor is taken.

Types

Incisional biopsy

A small surgical incision carefully placed to access tumor without contamination of critical structures.

Excisional biopsy

It is done for small, superficial soft tissue masses.

Incision

Longitudinal incision in the extremities is taken.
It should allow for extension of the incision for definitive management.

Approach

Never expose neurovascular structures during the procedure.
During the biopsy, all tissue exposed is considered contaminated with tumor.
Meticulous hemostasis must be carried out.
Post-surgery hematomas are considered contaminated with tumor.
Always deflate the tourniquet prior to wound closure.

Biopsy

Perform through the involved compartment of the tumor.
For bone lesions with a soft tissue mass, perform the biopsy using the soft tissue mass.

Closure

If drain is kept, remove the drain out of the skin in line with surgical incision.
This helps in excising the drain site with definitive surgical extensive incision.

Closed Technique

Types

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

It provides cytologic specimen.
It is the most commonly used for carcinoma.
It is usually not preferred for sarcoma.

Core biopsy (Tru-cut Biopsy)

It allows for tumor structural examination.
It allows evaluation of both the cytologic and stromal elements of the tumor.
It is frequently used for sarcomas.

Sequence of Diagnostic Studies

The various investigations must be performed in the following order:

- X-ray
- MRI
Biopsy

-A '''biopsy''' (in Greek: ''bios'' = life and ''opsy'' = look/appearance) is a [[medical test]] involving the removal of [[Cell_(biology)|cell]]s or [[Biological tissue|tissue]]s for examination.  The tissue is generally examined under a [[microscope]] by a [[pathologist]], and can also be analyzed chemically (for example, using [[PCR]] or [[gas chromatography]] techniques).  When only a sample of tissue is removed, the procedure is called an ''incisional biopsy'' or ''core biopsy''. When an entire lump or suspicious area is removed, the procedure is called an ''excisional biopsy''. When a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle, the procedure is called a [[needle aspiration biopsy]].
-After the biopsy is performed, the sample of tissue that was removed from the patient is sent to the pathology laboratory. A pathologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing diseases (such as cancer) by examining tissue under a microscope. When the laboratory receives the biopsy sample, the tissue is processed and an extremely thin slice of tissue is removed from the sample and attached to a glass slide. Any remaining tissue is saved for use in later studies, if required. The slide with the tissue attached is treated with dyes that stain the tissue, which allows the individual cells in the tissue to be seen more clearly. The slide is then given to the pathologist, who examines the tissue under a microscope, looking for any abnormal findings. The pathologist then prepares a report that lists any abnormal or important findings from the biopsy. This report is sent to the physician who originally performed the biopsy on the patient.
+== Overview ==
+[[Biopsy]] is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of [[Tumor|tumors]]. The [[tumor]] is then staged into [[benign]] and [[malignant]] [[tumors]].
-==In cancer==
+===Biopsy===
-[[Pathology|Pathologic]] examination of a biopsy can determine whether a lesion is [[Benign_tumor|benign]] or [[malignant]], and can help differentiate between different types of cancer. In contrast to a biopsy that merely samples a lesion, a larger excisional specimen called a resection may come to a pathologist, typically from a surgeon attempting to eradicate a known lesion from a patient. For example, a pathologist would examine a [[mastectomy]] specimen, even if a previous nonexcisional breast biopsy had already established the diagnosis of breast cancer. Examination of the full mastectomy specimen would confirm the exact nature of the cancer (subclassification of tumor and histologic "grading") and reveal the extent of its spread ([[Staging (pathology)|pathologic "staging"]]).

-In an ''excisional biopsy'', the margins of the specimen may be carefully examined to see if the disease has spread beyond the area biopsied.  "Clear margins," or "negative margins," means that no disease was found at the edges of the biopsy specimen.  "Positive margins"  means that disease was found, and additional treatment may be needed.
