Biopsy, a cornerstone of cancer research, is a diagnostic procedure crucial for understanding and treating cancer. It involves extracting a small sample of tissue or cells from a suspicious area in the body for microscopic examination. Through various biopsy techniques such as needle, surgical, or endoscopic biopsy, clinicians can determine the presence, type, and characteristics of cancerous cells. This invaluable information guides treatment decisions, including the selection of targeted therapies and assessing prognosis. Additionally, biopsies provide material for genetic and molecular analysis, aiding in personalized medicine approaches. Continual advancements in biopsy techniques, including liquid biopsies capable of detecting tumor biomarkers in blood, promise to revolutionize cancer diagnosis and monitoring. Thus, biopsy remains a fundamental tool in the relentless pursuit of understanding and combating cancer.
