What can be learned from the biopsy results? Once the biopsy is complete, a specially trained doctor called a pathologist examines the tissue or fluid samples under a microscope, looking for abnormal or cancerous cells. The pathology report, which can take one or two weeks to complete, is sent to the patientâs doctor.
Not knowing when the results will be ready and not understanding why testing sometimes takes longer than expected can cause extra concern. Routine biopsy and cytology results may be ready as soon as 1or 2 days after the sample gets to the lab. But there are many reasons some take much longer to complete. Often, there are technical reasons for delays in reporting results. For instance, certain types of body tissues take longer to process than others.
