The Biopsy Services Department is a specialized diagnostic unit dedicated to obtaining tissue, fluid, or cell samples for the accurate diagnosis of a wide range of diseases, including cancers, infections, inflammatory conditions, and genetic disorders.

The department ensures that all biopsies are performed with precision, safety, and patient comfort using advanced imaging guidance and minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. The timely and accurate diagnosis provided by biopsy services is critical for treatment planning and monitoring therapy response.

Scope of Services

The department offers a comprehensive range of biopsy procedures across multiple clinical specialties:

• Excisional and Incisional Biopsy: Complete removal or partial sampling of tissue for histopathological analysis.
• Needle Biopsy: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy for organs such as the breast, liver, thyroid, lymph nodes, and lungs.
• Endoscopic Biopsy: Tissue sampling during gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or bronchoscopy.
• Image-Guided Biopsy: Using ultrasound, CT, or MRI guidance for accurate targeting of internal organs and deep-seated lesions.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Biopsy: Punch, shave, or excisional biopsy for dermatological conditions.
• Bone Marrow Biopsy: For hematological disorders and blood cancers.
• Lymph Node Biopsy: Surgical or needle sampling for evaluation of infections, lymphoma, or metastases.

Key Objectives:

• Provide accurate and early diagnosis of diseases.
• Enable personalized treatment planning based on histopathological results.
• Support monitoring of disease progression or therapy response.
• Minimize patient discomfort and procedural complications.

Infrastructure & Technology

The Biopsy Department is equipped with modern diagnostic and procedural infrastructure to ensure precision and safety:

• High-Resolution Imaging Systems: Ultrasound, CT, and MRI for image-guided biopsies.
• Endoscopic Equipment: For GI, respiratory, and urological tissue sampling.
• Surgical and Minor Procedure Suites: Sterile environments for excisional or incisional biopsies.
• Pathology Laboratory Access: Rapid transport of samples for histopathology, cytology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing.
• Anesthesia & Sedation Facilities: For patient comfort during invasive or prolonged procedures.
