A biopsy is a medical test where a small piece of tissue is removed from the body and examined under a microscope. Doctors use biopsies to check for diseases like cancer.
From Greek “bios” meaning “life” and “opsis” meaning “a sight” or “view.” It literally means “a view of living tissue.”
A biopsy is like taking a tiny snapshot of your body at the cellular level. Doctors can often tell more from that tiny piece under a microscope than from big, fancy scanning machines.
