• | Incisional biopsy: During this procedure, a small piece of tissue is cut away from the abnormal area using a scalpel or other specialized tool. If the abnormality is deep inside the tissue, this type of biopsy may require minor oral surgery. |
• | Excisional biopsy: During this procedure, the entire growth or lesion is cut away from the rest of the tissue. This is usually performed on abnormalities that are easy to access. |
• | Brush biopsy: During this procedure, we gather tissue by forcefully rubbing a brush against the abnormality. The brush scrapes off a small sample of cells through exfoliation. This procedure is usually reserved for issues that do not require an immediate, more invasive biopsy. |
• | Percutaneous biopsy: During this procedure, we use a fine biopsy needle or core biopsy needle to carefully remove tissue through the skin. This is particularly useful when we need a more extensive tissue sample. |
