About Biopsy (Small)
Small biopsy samples are examined under the microscope by our pathology team to check for abnormal cells or signs of disease. This size category typically covers smaller tissue samples taken during minor procedures.
Reporting takes longer than a routine blood test since detailed tissue processing and careful microscopic review are involved, but we keep you updated throughout.
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.
