A biopsy is a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist involving sampling of cells or tissues for examination. It is the medical removal of tissue from a living subject to determine the presence or extent of a disease.
A prostate biopsy is a procedure to remove small samples of prostate tissue to be examined under a microscope. See an illustration of the prostate gland. For a prostate biopsy, an ultrasound probe is inserted through the rectum ('transrectal ultrasound') and needles passed ('transrectal biopsy'). The biopsy samples are examined under a microscope for cancer cells.
