- Biopsy
Biopsy
A biopsy is a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, an interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist.
Breast mass
A breast mass, also known as a breast lump, is a localized swelling that feels different from the surrounding tissue.
See Open biopsy and Breast mass
General anaesthesia
General anaesthesia (UK) or general anesthesia (US) is a method of medically inducing loss of consciousness that renders a patient unarousable even with painful stimuli.
See Open biopsy and General anaesthesia
Local anesthesia
Local anesthesia is any technique to induce the absence of sensation in a specific part of the body, generally for the aim of inducing local analgesia, i.e. local insensitivity to pain, although other local senses may be affected as well.
See Open biopsy and Local anesthesia
Lumpectomy
Lumpectomy (sometimes known as a tylectomy, partial mastectomy, breast segmental resection or breast wide local excision) is a surgical removal of a discrete portion or "lump" of breast tissue, usually in the treatment of a malignant tumor or breast cancer.
See Open biopsy and Lumpectomy
Microscope
A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.
See Open biopsy and Microscope
Pathology
Pathology is the study of disease and injury.
Skin
Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and sensation.
Surgical incision
In surgery, a surgical incision is a cut made through the skin and soft tissue to facilitate an operation or procedure.
