What is the Biopsy (Histopathology) test?
A biopsy or surgical specimen is processed into very thin slices, stained, and examined under the microscope by a pathologist. This shows exactly what kind of tissue and disease is present, including whether a growth is cancerous and how it behaves.
Why is it done?
- Diagnosing lumps, ulcers or growths
- Confirming or ruling out cancer
- Examining organs or tissue removed during surgery
- Planning treatment after cancer surgery
How to prepare
- Your doctor collects the sample; bring it in the container and fixative provided
- Bring the doctor's request form and any previous reports
