What you need to know about Lung Biopsy in Tel Aviv
A lung biopsy is a procedure that involves removing a very small sample of lung tissue to be examined under a microscope for signs of disease. Your doctor may ask you to have a lung biopsy if something out of the ordinary is spotted on your chest X-ray or CT scan. The goal of this procedure is to create an accurate diagnosis.
A lung biopsy can be used to:
-
Determine whether a lung muss is benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous)
-
Stage lung cancer
-
Identify the cause of inflammation in the lung
-
Monitor the progression of lung disease
-
Investigate the cause of unexplained fluid collection
-
Diagnose a lung infection.
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a lung biopsy.
What's the Recovery Time?
You will need to take it easy and rest as much as possible for a day or two after lung biopsy. It is important that you avoid strenuous activity for a week. If you have an open biopsy, the recovery time until you can resume your activity may take longer.
What's the Success Rate?
Lung biopsy is a safe procedure with a high success and accuracy rates. It is reported that percutaneous transthoracic lung needle biopsy has a success rate of 88 to 97%. However, the procedure does carry some risk. These include bleeding, coughing up blood, infection, and collapsed lung.
