Surgery unclude many types of procedures either to diagnose cancer, determine the extension of the disease, and for treatment
  • The type of surgery that may be used for diagnosis is called biopsy, which means that a surgeon will take some tissue samples from the suspected cancer area
  • Then, the sample will be immediately sent for examination by a specialist in a dedicated laboratory
  • A positive biopsy indicates the presence of cancer. On the other hand a negative biopsy may indicate that no cancer is present in the sample
