What is Aspiration biopsy?

An aspiration biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a thin needle to remove a sample of cells from an organ or tissue. The cells are then examined under a microscope to look for any abnormalities, such as cancer or other disease.

Aspiration biopsies are often performed on breast lumps or other suspicious areas. They can also diagnose tumors in the lungs, liver, kidney, lymph nodes, and other parts of the body.

Aspiration biopsies are typically done in a doctor's office or clinic and take only a few minutes to perform. The procedure is usually not painful, but you may feel a slight pinch or discomfort.

After the biopsy, you may experience some soreness or bruising at the biopsy site. This should go away within a few days.

Aspiration biopsies are a safe and effective way to diagnose many types of cancer and other diseases. The procedure is accurate, and it rarely causes complications.
