Overview

A biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of tissue or cells is removed from the body so that it can be examined, usually under a microscope, to detect or characterize disease. It is one of the most important diagnostic tools in pathology, allowing clinicians to confirm the presence of conditions such as cancer, infection, and inflammatory disease and to assess their extent and grade. Biopsy techniques vary with the site and the clinical question and include needle biopsies, fine-needle aspiration, surgical excision, and endoscopic sampling. Once obtained, specimens are processed, sectioned, stained, and interpreted by pathologists, who may supplement microscopy with immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, or molecular analyses to reach a precise diagnosis. The information a biopsy provides underpins treatment planning across many fields of medicine. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research from the journal's Clinical and Diagnostic Pathology scope that bears directly on biopsy practice, including studies of fine-needle aspiration cytology of lymphoid lesions, prostatic biopsy in older patients, clinicopathologic analysis of granulomatous gastritis biopsy cases, testicular biopsy morphology in infertility, and elemental analysis of thyroid nodular tissue, together illustrating how tissue sampling informs the diagnosis and study of disease.
