About Biopsy (Extra Large)
Extra large biopsy samples require the most extensive tissue processing before microscopic examination, often because multiple sections need to be reviewed for a complete picture.
This is our most detailed biopsy processing tier, and while it takes longer than smaller samples, it ensures your pathology report is thorough.
How to Prepare
- No special preparation on your end, your doctor handles the sample collection.
- Bring your doctor's request form when submitting the sample.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a biopsy sample processed at City Care Lab?
Our pathology team examines the tissue under the microscope to check for abnormal cells, inflammation, or signs of disease.
Do I need to fast before submitting a biopsy sample?
No fasting is needed for the lab processing itself; any preparation relates to the procedure that collects the tissue, which your doctor will guide you on.
How long does a biopsy report take?
Biopsy results take longer than routine blood tests, since tissue processing and detailed microscopic examination take time.
Why does biopsy size affect pricing?
Larger tissue samples require more processing steps and technician time, which is reflected in the pricing tiers.

Yes, your doctor will walk you through the findings and what they mean for your specific situation.
