Can Biopsies Or Punctures Promote Metastasis?

A biopsy is the removal of part of the tissue from the lesion and sending it to the pathology department for examination. In general, biopsies can promote the spread of cancer because some tumor cells can be pushed out of place and spread during surgery. Despite these problems, biopsies are often essential in diagnosis. Puncture examination is to use syringe-like instruments to inject into the lesion site, extract part of the tissue and then do cytological examination, puncture to local damage will promote cancer metastasis? Medical staff have done a lot of studies on this problem, and it was found that whether puncture can promote the spread of cancer is related to the diameter of the puncture needle. If the diameter is less than 1 mm, the risk will be very low. Now all the puncture needles used in our hospital meet the above standards. Now that these tests have the potential to promote dispersal, how can we solve these problems? First of all, the corresponding treatment should be done as soon as possible after the diagnosis is clear. For example, the breast lump, which is clearly diagnosed as breast cancer after biopsy, should be surgically removed as soon as possible, preferably within two weeks after biopsy, in order to reduce the spread. Postoperative reasonable chemotherapy. If possible, perform an examination by puncture or other means. Of course, the above problems are mainly considered by the medical staff to solve, as patients should also learn more about common sense, increase the awareness of prevention, so that the adverse effects of various examinations to a minimum level. Here to emphasize that the examination such as biopsy has promote the possibility of cancer cells spread, but this is not to say that after all an spread to transfer the results from a biopsy, and some patients even without a biopsy is spread transfer, transfer is one of the characteristics of a malignant tumor, live an improper use only promotes cancer metastasis. If the biopsy is for a benign lesion, it will not in any way promote its spread. Although biopsy has these problems, it is one of the most important diagnostic methods. It is necessary to do biopsy for some diseases. During surgery, attention can be paid to minimize injury as much as possible.
