Histopathology of CT/USG Guided trucut biopsy Test

What Does a Histopathology of CT/USG Guided Tru-cut Biopsy Test Measure?

This test provides vital information about the nature of a tissue lesion by assessing:

• Cellular Architecture: Helps identify if the tissue is normal, benign, or malignant.
• Tumour Type and Grade: Determines the exact type and aggressiveness of a tumour.
• Inflammatory or Infectious Conditions: Detects signs of inflammation or infection.
• Receptor Studies: Enables further testing like Immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess hormone or tumour markers.
• Treatment Guidance: Assists doctors in planning appropriate therapy or surgery.

How Is a Histopathology of CT/USG Guided Tru-cut Biopsy Test Done? (Step-by-Step Procedure)

The Histopathology of CT/USG Guided Tru-cut Biopsy Test is a minimally invasive tissue sampling procedure performed under imaging guidance:

• Preparation: You’ll be positioned depending on the biopsy site, and the skin area will be cleaned with antiseptic.
• Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic is given to numb the area.
• Guidance: The radiologist uses CT or ultrasound to locate the target tissue.
• Sample Collection: A Tru-cut needle is inserted through the skin, and a small tissue core is taken. Multiple samples may be collected for accuracy.
• Completion: A small dressing is applied to the site, and the samples are preserved in formalin and sent for histopathological examination at Metropolis Lab.

Conditions That May Affect Histopathology of CT/USG Guided Tru-cut Biopsy Test Accuracy

Certain patient-related conditions can influence biopsy accuracy:

• Taking blood thinners may increase bleeding risk during sampling.
• Severe infection or inflammation at the biopsy site may alter tissue appearance.
• Insufficient tissue yield due to deep or fibrotic lesions may require repeat sampling.
• Incorrect or incomplete clinical history can affect final interpretation.

Diseases That a Histopathology of CT/USG Guided Tru-cut Biopsy Test Can Help Detect

• Cancers such as breast, lung, liver, kidney, or bone malignancies
• Benign tumours like hamartomas or fibroadenomas
• Chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, sarcoidosis)
• Fibrotic or necrotic tissue disorders
• Metastatic cancers from other organs
