Biopsy of Liver Mass

A liver mass biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect a small tissue sample from an abnormal growth in the liver for diagnostic purposes. This procedure, performed under local anesthesia and guided by imaging, helps determine whether the growth is cancerous or related to another liver condition. The biopsy results are crucial for tailoring an appropriate treatment plan, whether it involves surgery, chemotherapy, or other interventions. While generally safe, patients may experience mild discomfort at the biopsy site. Liver mass biopsies are a vital diagnostic tool for liver health assessment and ensuring the best possible care for patients.
