Biopsies
The physical exam, lab and imaging tests may identify an abnormality but a BIOPSY is the only sure way to know whether cancer is present. In a BIOPSY, the doctor removes a sample of tissue from the abnormal area or may remove the whole area. A pathologist will examine the tissue to see whether cancer cells are present or not.
