Biopsy Procedure in Kharkov

Biopsy is a key method for diagnosing cell composition due to its high information content and accuracy, which is used to determine oncological and non-oncological tumor and inflammatory processes in the body. It is mainly used in gastroenterology and gynecology. In the first case, it allows determining the inflammatory and tumor processes in the stomach, intestines and esophagus, and in the second one it enables to identify diseases of the cervix and uterine cavity.

You cannot do without it when other types of diagnostics (ultrasound, X-ray or MRI) are ineffective for confirming the diagnosis. The accuracy of determining the cellular composition is explained by how the biopsy is performed: tissues of a certain organ are taken for analysis and then carefully examined under a microscope. There are five types of biopsies

• Excision – complete organ removal during surgery
• Incision – partial organ removal during surgery to examine tissues during surgery
• Puncture biopsy – a piece of tissue is taken for further examination by a special hollow needle
• Aspiration – the biopsy sample is taken from a cavity or organ through a medical syringe (this method does not allow histological and cytological examinations)
• endoscopic – tissues for diagnostics are excised using an endoscope

To take the material, a special harpoon or syringe with a thin needle is used. The following are suitable for the examination: muscle and bone tissues, the surface of the hollow organs (lungs, stomach, uterus, thyroid gland), as well as the liver, mammary glands, and skin. A biopsy is used not only for diagnostics, but also therapeutic purposes as during the operation, after taking a biopsy, the pathological focus can be removed.
