A biopsy or cytology test can help doctors examine suspicious cells or tissue under a microscope and, in many cases, establish whether cancer is present and determine the type of cancer.
But what happens when a needle enters a tumour? Does it “puncture” the cancer and cause it to spread?
Doctors say the risk of cancer spreading because of a biopsy is extremely low. A rare complication known as tumour seeding can occur, but modern techniques have significantly reduced this risk.
So, should you avoid a biopsy because you fear it could spread cancer? And why is tissue or cell testing so important before treatment?
Watch the video to understand the cancer biopsy myth, the truth about needle biopsy and cancer spread, and why patients should discuss their concerns with their doctor rather than delay an important diagnostic test.
