What Is an Excision Biopsy?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

An excision biopsy<\/strong> is a medical procedure in which the entire tumor or abnormal tissue<\/strong> is surgically removed for diagnostic examination. Unlike an incisional biopsy, which removes only a small portion of tissue, an excision biopsy allows doctors to examine the complete lesion.<\/p>

This procedure is especially useful for:<\/p>

  • Suspected skin cancers (including melanoma)<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Breast lumps<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Lymph node enlargement<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Muscle and soft tissue tumors<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    In many early-stage conditions, an excision biopsy can both confirm the diagnosis and completely remove the abnormal tissue in a single procedure<\/strong>.<\/p>

    At Sarkar Hospital, Agra<\/strong>, excision biopsies are performed with precision and care using advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    • Assess tumor margins<\/p><\/li>

    • Remove small tumors completely at an early stage<\/p><\/li>
