  1. Lung Biopsy – What To Expect? Introduction A lung biopsy is a medical operation which involves removing tissue or growths from the lung(s). The procedure is used to help diagnose conditions of the lungs, usually after abnormalities in the chest are found during a computerized tomography (CT) scan or chest X-ray. The procedure is also used in cases of suspected lung cancer, according to a lung cancer specialist in Patna. A lung biopsy can determine

  2. whether a mass in the lungs is malignant (cancerous), or benign (noncancerous). How The Procedure Is Carried Out? Oncologists in Patna, working at the cancer hospital in Patna tell us that there are different types of lung biopsies that are carried out to determine the nature of a growth or lung tissue. These include:

  3. Needle biopsy, which is carried out when abnormal tissue is located near to the chest wall. The advantages to this type of biopsy are that general anaesthesia is not required and the whole procedure does not require a hospital stay. A needle is inserted into the lung through the skin, guided either by X-ray or CT, to collect tissue. Open biopsy, in which a lump or mass is partially or completely removed. If the lump is removed completely, the procedure may be referred to as a lumpectomy. The procedure is done using general anaesthesia, and the chest cavity must be opened to retrieve the tissue. Bronchoscopic biopsy, is done via a device called a bronchoscope, which is inserted via the nose or mouth to reach the lungs.
