Exploring Tissue Biopsy and Its Importance
A biopsy involves the extraction of a tissue sample from the body for a detailed examination. Doctors recommend biopsies when initial tests indicate the presence of abnormal tissue in the body.
Physicians may use terms like "lesion," "tumor," or "mass" to describe areas of abnormal tissue. These terms are general and signify the uncertainty surrounding the nature of the tissue. Suspicious areas may be identified during a physical examination or through internal imaging tests.
If you require a biopsy or have concerns about abnormal tissue, schedule an appointment with Dr. David Burnham at Burnham Prosthodontics by calling (780) 250-7767. Our practice is conveniently situated at 9148 23 Ave NW Suite #225 in Edmonton, AB. Your health is our priority.
