What Is A Biopsy & Why Is It Necessary?
A biopsy is the removal of tissue for pathological (disease) analysis. After removing a suspicious lesion, we will send the tissue to the University of Tennessee Department of Oral Pathology for analysis. Determining the type of unwanted tissue gives peace of mind and helps in treatment decisions. Commonly a biopsy can be accomplished with the VersaWave laser to decrease pain, control bleeding, and speed healing.
What Alternatives Are There To A Biopsy?
An alternative to a biopsy and to help in cancer detection, we can use the identafi 3000 ultra cancer detection device.
