The biopsy is a very important study in the field of medical science, it consists of the evaluation under the microscope of a portion of tissue to detail evil regards the case. The biopsy is performed in many infectious cases, in which it is unknown with the normal examination procedures that do not arrive with the solution due to lack of clarity in the study. Biopsy is frequently performed in the oncology area of hospitals, as it represents a precise and definitive examination to identify cells infected with cancer. There are many types of biopsy, but the main two are: the one that is removedthe tissue and is evaluated under the microscope and reagents are added to change if necessary and the one that through cameras inside the body reaches the source of the infection.
The term biopsy comes from the Greek " Bio " and " Opsis " which mean " Life " and " Observation " respectively, indicating that it is more than a process of visualization of the affected areas, without prompting a change within the study but yes to evaluate the behavior of the infected cell. Some biopsies are also performed with radiological tools, the percutaneous calls carry out inspections of the tissue from the outside, taking clearly graphic alterations as a margin of error. When it comes to a tumor or an organ with cancer, it must be removedIn order to analyze the advancement of the cancer in the body (metastasis), the sample contained within what was withdrawn is biopsied in order to determine the extent of the disease.
Many organs must be removed in their entirety or in stages if it is possible to recover some of their functions, but it is clear that the patient's life will not be the same. This type of study results in a very accurate and precise diagnosis, thanks to the biopsy, the treatment can be identified in time and take into account what its effect would be on cancer cells. Very importantly, periodic biopsy is performed in order to evaluate the progress of therapy.
