Will One-time Puncture Biopsy Needle Cause Metastasis And Spread Of Cancer Cells?

The operation of needle biopsy plays a very important role in the diagnosis of tumor. Because puncture is a traumatic procedure. Patients and families do not know much about puncture, and there are even some concerns and misunderstandings such as puncture biopsy will cause tumor spread. In fact, a needle biopsy is a very standard medical procedure that doctors perform after weighing the benefits and risks for the patient.

Needle biopsies generally do not lead to tumor spread because tumors generally include both benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors do not metastasize and spread, so even if the puncture, will not metastasize and spread. For malignant tumors, specific treatment plans, such as specific chemotherapy plans and targeted drugs, are needed to obtain pathological tissues for diagnosis. If there is no operation, needle biopsy is very necessary. Only by taking tumor tissue through needle biopsy and sending it to the pathology department for testing, can the diagnosis be confirmed and the next treatment be carried out. In theory, the puncture could cause the tumor to rupture, and the blood flow out could cause the tumor cells to spread.
