Relevance of Biopsy Site Change
04/01/2012
The interventional radiologists feel, after reviewing the CT films, that they will be able to obtain a better tissue sample for the pathologists to evaluate.
It is neither good nor bad that the site has changed. If anything I guess it could be considered ‘good’ because the radiologists feel they will get a better tissue sample by doing the biopsy on the right lung junk. Hopefully the pathologists will receive an adequate tissue sample and be able to make a cellular/tissue diagnosis.
With you in SPIRIT!!!
