Does a biopsy cause cancer cells to spread?

The idea that biopsy causes cancer cells to spread and grow is completely unscientific. Currently, this false information is widespread, causing people, especially patients, to panic, fear going to the doctor, and even miss the golden period for treatment.

Depending on the condition and disease, the doctor will require diagnosis by ultrasound, endoscopy, biopsy... Then, the doctor will give appropriate treatment methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of many other methods.

A biopsy helps your doctor diagnose with certainty whether you have cancer, what stage it is at, and how far it has spread. This helps your doctor determine the level of malignancy and severity of the disease. In some cases of suspected cancer, a biopsy confirms that the tumor is benign. All this information helps your doctor determine the stage of the disease and come up with the most appropriate treatment plan. In addition, your doctor may combine ultrasound, X-ray, CT scan, and MRI to confirm the results.

Therefore, patients should not believe in advertisements, rumors, and shares on social networks to avoid losing money and health, missing the golden time for treatment, causing cancer to progress to a later stage, making it difficult to cure.

We should not deny the role of modern medicine, be afraid of "going under the knife", "fear intervention", and bet our health and lives on medicines of unknown origin.
