Diagnostic Biopsy

Accurate tissue sampling for definitive cancer diagnosis

A biopsy provides the definitive diagnosis that imaging and blood tests alone cannot — tissue analysis confirms whether a suspicious lesion is benign or malignant, determines cancer type and grade, and guides treatment decisions. Our clinic provides a range of guided and unguided biopsy services in a safe, sterile clinical environment.

We offer ultrasound-guided core biopsies, fine needle aspiration (FNA), skin punch biopsies and endoscopic biopsies, with samples processed at an accredited histopathology laboratory for rapid turnaround.
