True-Cut Biopsy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to obtain a core tissue sample from a suspicious lesion or mass for detailed histopathological examination. The procedure helps determine the nature of a lesion and supports accurate diagnosis and further treatment planning.
Local Anaesthesia – The procedure is performed under appropriate local anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort during tissue sampling.
Core Tissue Sampling – Tissue is obtained using a specialized core biopsy needle designed to collect representative tissue samples.
Imaging Guidance – The procedure may be performed under Ultrasound, CT, or other appropriate imaging guidance depending on the location and characteristics of the lesion.
Multiple Tissue Cores – Multiple representative tissue cores may be obtained when clinically indicated to support accurate diagnosis.
Specimen Handling – The collected tissue specimens are properly preserved and sent to the Histopathology Department for detailed microscopic examination.
Breast & Axillary Lesions – Evaluation of suspicious lesions involving the breast and axillary region.
Lymph Node Enlargement – Tissue sampling of enlarged or suspicious lymph nodes when clinically indicated.
Liver & Abdominal Lesions – Evaluation of selected lesions involving the liver and other abdominal organs.
Soft-Tissue Masses – Tissue diagnosis of suspicious soft-tissue masses.
Thyroid & Neck Lesions – Evaluation of selected thyroid and neck lesions where core tissue sampling is appropriate.
Other Suspicious Masses – Tissue sampling of other lesions requiring histopathological diagnosis.
Minimally Invasive – Provides tissue sampling through a minimally invasive procedure.
Larger Tissue Sample – Provides a larger tissue sample compared with fine-needle aspiration in appropriate cases.
Tissue Architecture Assessment – Allows evaluation of tissue architecture, which can provide important diagnostic information.
Helps Differentiate Lesions – Supports differentiation between benign, inflammatory, and malignant conditions.
Supports Treatment Planning – Histopathological findings can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning.
True-Cut Biopsy is performed with appropriate imaging guidance, sterile precautions, and clinical expertise. The procedure is carried out with careful tissue sampling and safe specimen handling to support reliable histopathological evaluation and accurate clinical diagnosis.
