When diagnostic imaging reveals an abnormality such as a lump, further investigation is usually required to determine whether the lump contains cancer cells – and if so, to give further information on the type and extent of the cancer.
In a biopsy, a small sample of the tissue is removed and examined under a microscope. The test will show whether the tissue is benign and harmless, or malignant (cancerous) and likely to spread.
