Original Note:
Cancer is basically “cells gone rogue” & it can kill. Biopsies do not cause cancer to spread. The idea that a biopsy “lets the cancer out” of a tumor is not true. Biopsies help identify the type of cancer, its aggressiveness, and guide treatment decisions. https://www.cancer.net/navigating-cancer-care/diagnosing-cancer/tests-and-procedures/biopsy https://www.cancer.net/blog/2021-03/can-biopsy-make-my-cancer-spread https://news.cancerconnect.com/treatment-care/understanding-your-biopsy-results-and-pathology-report https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/biopsy/art-20043922 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer
