What does interventional puncture biopsy mean

Interventional puncture biopsy is a percutaneous puncture technique that is commonly used to diagnose lymph nodes, organs, or tissue lesions. In this procedure, a thin puncture needle is passed through layers of skin and muscle to reach the suspected lesion area. With a cutter inside the puncture needle, the doctor can biopsy the tissue sample to determine the type of lesion and diagnosis.

Interventional puncture biopsy is a minimally invasive technique with fewer risks and faster recovery than traditional open surgery. At the same time, biopsy tissue samples are not representative of the entire lesion, and sometimes multiple tests are needed to make the most satisfactory diagnosis.

Some common types of lesions, such as cancers, lymphomas, infections, liver disease, and lung disease may require an aspiration biopsy. During this procedure, patients need to be quiet and relaxed to minimize possible discomfort and complications. Doctors and technicians must have extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure the accuracy and safety of the puncture biopsy.
