Types of Biopsy
Common approaches include needle biopsy (fine-needle aspiration or core needle), which removes a small sample with minimal invasiveness; excisional biopsy, which removes the entire lump; incisional biopsy, which takes a portion of a larger mass; and endoscopic biopsy taken during a scope procedure. The choice depends on the location, size, and suspected nature of the tissue being sampled.
