Whether biopsy needle puncture causes tumor metastasis

All the patients treated by the hospital are tumor patients. Yang gave us a reassuring message here. "At present, it is generally accepted that biopsy will not cause tumor metastasis. Although it is common to see patients with implant metastases in the puncture channel, such cases are extremely rare and likely due to poor practice."

However, before needle biopsy, it is necessary to have a full understanding of the nature, stage and treatment of the tumor, make adequate preoperative planning, and ensure that the needle path for sampling is located on the surgical incision, so that complete resection can be performed during surgery. Therefore, needle biopsy should be performed by experienced specialists, and it is best to be performed by the surgeon himself to improve accuracy and reduce complications.
