| | Prostate Biopsy |
 | | For a prostate biopsy, a thin needle is inserted through the rectum (transrectal biopsy), through the urethra, or through the area between the anus and scrotum (perineum). | | | This biopsy is done by a surgeon or a doctor who specializes in men's genital and urinary problems (urologist) in the doctor's office, a day surgery clinic, or a hospital operating room. | | | You may feel a dull pressure as the biopsy needle is inserted. |

| | Core needle biopsy, also known as wide-core needle biopsy or cutting core biopsy, involves the use of a large-bore needle and is the simplest method of pathologic diagnosis of cancer. | | | Fine needle aspiration biopsy, also known as suction biopsy or needle aspiration biopsy, involves applying negative pressure through the use of a syringe and hollow, hypodermic needle. | | | Four common categories of biopsy are fine needle aspiration, core needle biopsy, excisional biopsy, and incisional biopsy. |

| | For "large needle biopsy," a mild sedative may be given an hour before the procedure, to relax the patient. | | | In large needle biopsy, a stinging needle prick may be felt when the local anesthetic is injected. | | | If a large needle biopsy is being done, the doctor may order some tests to determine the clotting ability of the blood. |

| | What Is a Biopsy? |
| | Biopsies are generally performed either with a needle or during a surgical procedure. | | | Biopsies using other techniques can also be done on skin or muscle and during certain medical procedures involving endoscopy. | | | In needle biopsy, the doctor takes small amounts of tissue or fluid by inserting a needle into the tissue to be biopsied. |

| | Biopsy |
| | This type of biopsy is often used when a wider or deeper portion of the skin is needed. | | | Using a scalpel (surgical knife), a full thickness of skin is removed for further examination, and the wound is sutured (with surgical thread). | | | Following a biopsy, the tissue specimen is sent to one of the following areas of anatomical pathology to be examined and analyzed: |

| | A core needle biopsy is the main method used to diagnose prostate cancer. | | | The doctor will place his or her finger in your rectum to feel the prostate and then insert the biopsy needle through a small incision in the skin of the perineum. | | | The biopsy gun inserts and removes the needles in a fraction of a second. |

| | Biopsy - Bone Marrow Biopsy |
| | The biopsy needle is inserted through the skin and into the bone to reach the bone marrow. | | | Once inside the bone, the center portion of the needle is removed and a syringe is attached to the end of the needle and the marrow (which is liquid) is withdrawn. | | | For a bone marrow biopsy, a core of tissue is trapped inside the center needle before it is removed. |

| | Breast biopsy |
| | For an imaging-guided needle biopsy, imaging is used at the same time as the biopsy. | | | For an open biopsy that requires imaging, the area of interest is marked with a needle or wire prior to surgery. | | | Breast tissue samples may be obtained by a needle biopsy or open biopsy. |

| | X-ray Guided Breast Biopsy |
| | As an alternative to open surgical biopsy, which removes a larger specimen for microscopic analysis, a hollow needle may be passed through the skin into the suspicious lesion with the help of special breast x-rays. | | | The biopsy instrument used in this procedure is called a vacuum-assisted device (VAD), which consists of an inner needle with a trough extending from it at one end and an overlying sheath. | | | They include core biopsy, which uses a large-bore needle to remove a generous sample of breast tissue, and a vacuum-assisted needle biopsy device (VAD), which uses vacuum suction to obtain a tissue sample. |

| | After the biopsy specimen is obtained by the doctor, it is sent for examination to another doctor, the anatomical pathologist, who prepares a written report with information designed to help the primary doctor manage the patient's condition properly. | | | This part of procedure, the aspiration, is usually followed by the core biopsy, in which a slightly larger needle is used to extract core of bone. | | | Even though the core biopsy procedure involves a bigger needle, it is usually less painful than the aspiration. |

| | This biopsy technique has the highest risk of "false negatives," which is when the biopsy result says normal, even though a cancer is present. | | | There is the possibility that you will have false negatives with both needle biopsy and incisional biopsy. | | | In some cases, a technique called needle localization guides biopsy of a non-palpable lesion (a mass that can't be felt) that was detected by mammography. |

| | A biopsy is a diagnostic test that involves collecting small pieces of tissue, usually through a needle, for examination under a microscope. | | | For a percutaneous (through the skin) biopsy, your doctor will use a locating needle and x-ray or ultrasound equipment to find the right spot and then a collecting needle to gather the tissue. | | | You will be asked to hold your breath as the doctor inserts the biopsy needle and collects the tissue, usually for about 30 seconds or a little longer for each insertion. |

| | A skin biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of living skin is removed from the body for examination, usually under a microscope, to establish a precise diagnosis. | | | The choice of technique and precise location from which to take the biopsy material are determined by factors such as the type and shape of the lesion. | | | The area of the biopsy is cleansed thoroughly with alcohol or a disinfectant containing iodine. |

| | Next, a special biopsy needle is inserted into the same area, and, with the patient holding his or her breath, the biopsy needle is inserted quickly into the liver and withdrawn. | | | (The insertion and withdrawal of the biopsy needle takes only a second or two.) Suction through the needle, applied via an attached syringe, causes a small piece of liver (the biopsy) to be pulled into the needle and cut off from the rest of the liver. | | | A percutaneous biopsy involves numbing a small area of skin over the lower right side of the chest (this site is directly over the liver). |
