Exploring Tissue Biopsy and Its Importance
A biopsy involves the extraction of a tissue sample from the body for a detailed examination. Doctors recommend biopsies when initial tests indicate the presence of abnormal tissue in the body.
Physicians may use terms like "lesion," "tumor," or "mass" to describe areas of abnormal tissue. These terms are general and signify the uncertainty surrounding the nature of the tissue. Suspicious areas may be identified during a physical examination or through internal imaging tests.
If you require a biopsy or have concerns about abnormal tissue, schedule an appointment with Dr. Gavin M. Aaron at Aaron Periodontics and Dental Implants by calling (540) 562-3166. Our practice is conveniently situated at 4405 Starkey Road in Roanoke, VA. Your health is our priority.
