What is a biopsy?

Patient's question:

What is a biopsy?

Doctor's answer:

A biopsy is not a blood test. A cervical biopsy is a living tissue examination of the cervix, which involves taking a small piece or several pieces of tissue from the cervix for pathological examination to determine the diagnosis. Cervical biopsy images are often used when there is suspicion of cervical cancer, or when cervical smears show suspicious cancer cells, or when there is suspicion of specific inflammation, such as cervical tuberculosis. Cervical biopsy can provide a clear diagnosis and determine the treatment method. Cervical biopsy is the most reliable basis for confirming cervical cancer.
