Hay 2 tipos de biopsia: interna y externa.
Una biopsia externa es una colección de material para el estudio (biopsia) de sus tejidos superficiales: piel y mucosas. Tal procedimiento no requiere instalaciones especiales para visualización o control por computadora.
Una biopsia interna es aquella en la que los médicos toman una biopsia de los órganos internos. Para esto, los médicos usan equipos especiales: resonancia magnética, ultrasonido, etc.
Según la Sociedad Americana del Cáncer , existen varias variedades de biopsias.
Todas las decisiones sobre el tipo de estudio, los métodos de imagen y los métodos de anestesia las toma el médico tratante. El radiólogo ayuda al médico a monitorear visualmente el progreso del procedimiento.
El tipo más común de biopsia es la punción. Por lo tanto, es importante saber cómo se lleva a cabo dicho procedimiento. Según el recurso RadiologyInfo , antes de tomar una biopsia, el médico trata el área de punción con un anestésico. A los niños pequeños se les prescribe anestesia general (narcosis). Esto evita el dolor y hace que el procedimiento sea cómodo para el niño. Para pacientes adultos, los médicos usan anestesia local. La anestesia está indicada en los casos en que el procedimiento requiere la recolección de una gran área de tejido.
Los médicos usan ultrasonido (ultrasonido) o tomografía computarizada (TC) para identificar la ubicación exacta del procedimiento. Luego marcan con un marcador el punto donde se insertará la aguja. En este lugar, los especialistas desinfectan y eliminan el vello de la piel. A continuación, haz un pequeño pinchazo. Los médicos insertan una aguja, bajo el control visual de instalaciones especiales, la hacen avanzar hasta el foco y toman una muestra de tejido. Un análisis más detallado puede requerir múltiples muestras. Se aplica un vendaje de presión en el sitio de la incisión. Para evitar posibles complicaciones, el personal médico realiza un seguimiento del paciente durante las próximas 2-3 horas. El procedimiento dura 20-60 minutos.
En el sitio de punción durante 2-3 días, el paciente puede sentir dolor. Con síndrome de dolor severo, el médico prescribe analgésicos. El vendaje se puede retirar al día siguiente de la biopsia. Entonces usted puede tomar los procedimientos de agua.
Los médicos colocan los tejidos resultantes en una solución especial. Luego se deshidrata el material, se impregna con parafina u otra preparación similar. El bloque resultante se divide en secciones delgadas (menos de 0,1 mm), que se tiñen y se colocan entre dos portaobjetos de vidrio. El resultado final se denomina muestra histológica. Su análisis es realizado por un patólogo. Él evalúa las características de las células bajo un microscopio y, en base a esto, saca una conclusión sobre la naturaleza del tumor.
