A biopsy is a sample of tissue collected from an organ or other
part of the body. A biopsy can be done by cutting or scraping a
small piece of the tissue or by using a needle and syringe to
remove a sample, which is then examined for abnormalities, such
as cancer, by a doctor trained to look at tissue samples
(pathologist). eMedicineHealth Medical Reference from Healthwise
