Cutting Needle (TRU-CUT) Biopsy

A core needle biopsy is no different from a fine needle aspiration biopsy, except for the needle used. It requires no preparation. The biopsy material is sent to the pathology laboratory, and the pathology result is available within 4-5 days. Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy carries no serious risks in experienced hands. Complications such as bleeding and infection are very rare.

Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy is a slightly improved version of core needle biopsy. To ensure that all tissue in an area is sampled, we use the vacuum-assisted biopsy technique. In this technique, the biopsy needle is supported by a vacuum device, allowing for the collection of thicker tissue samples. It is even possible to remove the entire lesion. If the pathology result is benign, treatment is performed in the same session.
