Tissue Biopsy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A tissue biopsy is a type of biopsy and genetic test in which a doctor removes a small piece of tissue for microscopic examination. In this study doctors check for the presence of cancer cells and gene-level infections. It helps in confirming cancers, infections, and inflammatory conditions. Depending on the site and method, there are different types of biopsies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-3-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Two healthcare workers wearing masks conducting a biopsy on a patient's neck, illustrating the process of taking a tissue sample for diagnostic testing.\" class=\"wp-image-932\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-3-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-3-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-3-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-3-1.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><br>Type of Biopsy<\/td><td>Common Sites<\/td><td>Purpose<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Core Needle Biopsy<\/td><td>Liver, Kidney, Breast, Lymph Node<\/td><td>Detect tumors, infections, inflammation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Excisional Biopsy<\/td><td>Skin, Lymph Node<\/td><td>Remove &amp; analyze entire lesion<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Incisional Biopsy<\/td><td>Tumor masses<\/td><td>Sample part of lesion for diagnosis<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Preparation: Local or general anesthesia <br>\u2022 Report time: 3\u20137 days <br>\u2022 Cost: \u20b92,000\u2013\u20b92,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-fnac-fine-needle-aspiration-cytology\"><strong>2. FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>FNAC is a rapid and minimally invasive test under the biopsy and genetic tests category. In which a very thin, hollow needle is inserted into the area where the sample is to be taken, and suction is applied to collect a small sample of cells. It is commonly used for thyroid, breast, and lymph node swellings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Purpose: Detects infection, cysts, or cancer cells <br>\u2022 Report time: Same day \u2013 3 days <br>\u2022 Cost: \u20b91,000 \u2013 \u20b92,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-bone-marrow-aspiration-biopsy\"><strong>3. Bone Marrow Aspiration &amp; Biopsy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bone marrow is a spongy tissue inside the bone that is responsible for making the blood cells. They are critical for diagnosing leukemia, lymphoma, anemia, and platelet disorders. This test is a part of advanced biopsy and genetic tests. In a bone marrow aspiration sample, it is a liquid from bone marrow, whereas in a bone marrow biopsy, the sample is a solid core of bone marrow tissue.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Parameter<\/td><td>Normal Findings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cellular Composition<\/td><td>Balanced myeloid &amp; erythroid cells<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Megakaryocytes<\/td><td>Adequate number<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fibrosis<\/td><td>Absent<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Cost: \u20b94,000 \u2013 \u20b98,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-pap-smear-cervical-screening\"><strong>4. Pap Smear (Cervical Screening)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pap smear is an important screening test used to detect precancerous changes and cervical cancer in women. It is recommended for all sexually active women aged 21\u201365 years. It is a very effective test because it can detect cervical cancer early when it is highly treatable. This test is performed alongside other biopsy and genetic tests in comprehensive cancer detection programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Normal Result: Negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy <br>\u2022 Frequency: Every 3 years <br>\u2022 Cost: \u20b9500 \u2013 \u20b91,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-genetic-testing\"><strong>5.

Drug Level Monitoring<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medical test is done when a drug is harmful in high doses and does not show any effect in low doses. This tells us how much of the drug is reaching the blood and whether that dosage is correct or not. This helps us to know if the medicine is working properly or not, and we can also avoid toxicity and find the right dosage through its practice and spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-2-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Illustration of drug level monitoring showing medicine bottles, blood sample tubes, and a graph depicting toxic, therapeutic, and safe drug concentration levels.\" class=\"wp-image-931 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;width:530px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-2-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-2-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-2-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/avijestu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/generated-image-2-1.webp 1536w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Drug<\/td><td>Therapeutic Range<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lithium<\/td><td>0.6 \u2013 1.2 mEq\/L<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Phenytoin<\/td><td>10 \u2013 20 \u00b5g\/mL<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Valproic Acid<\/td><td>10\u201320 \u00b5g\/mL<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Cost: \u20b9800 \u2013 \u20b92,000 per drug<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-flow-cytometry\"><strong>8.

It is essential in diagnosing leukemias, lymphomas, and immune disorders. This test is very accurate and can analyze thousands of cells every second. A high-tech analysis is often paired with biopsy and genetic tests.
