excision biopsy

An excision biopsy is ideal, but not practical in most cases.

Excision biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis of saree cancer.

It is diagnosed by lymph node excision biopsy.

Excision biopsy was carried out and before the result was available the patient deteriorated rapidly and died.

Excision biopsy and histology were considered for naevi showing change or new naevi not present at the time of the previous photographic session.

Confirmation of clinically detected metastatic disease by fine needle aspiration without excision biopsy is designated with an (f) suffix, for example, cN3a(f).

If the lesion appears to be small and well localised, the surgeon may undertake excision biopsy, where an attempt is made to completely remove the tumour at the time of first biopsy.
