Biopsy 

Expert care with you in mind.

To diagnose cancer accurately, your doctor often needs to examine a small sample of tissue from the area in question. This procedure is called a biopsy. At Willis Knighton Cancer Center, we perform biopsies using advanced techniques to provide fast, reliable answers so you can take the next step in your care with confidence.
