Do puncture biopsy needle puncture can accelerate the spread of cancer cells?

A lot of people are worried that the needle biopsy will puncture the tumor at the same time, will it spread the tumor cells and cause it to metastasize?

In fact, it is possible to puncture and extract the absorbed tumor tissue. When the needle is pulled out, a small number of tumor cells may contaminate the original clean passage of the needle, resulting in tumor planting in the passage of the needle, which is called the implantation metastasis of the passage of the needle in medicine.

If the doctor's procedures are correct, tumor spread by needle biopsy is very rare, and even if some tumor cells have metastasized into surrounding tissues and bloodstream, they will be cleared by the body's immune system.

With the continuous progress of medical technology, the detection level of tumors is getting higher and higher. The myth of not being able to do tumor biopsy tests will soon be a thing of the past. In fact, each of us has an immune system. Even if we lose one or two cells in the process of taking out tumor cells, our immune system will take care of it. Therefore, there is no need to worry about tumor biopsy.
