As I understand it we should be very careful as a patient to decide to a sampling of tissue anywhere beyond the
primary . That would be a " biopsy "

Sampling or biopsy can create "seeding " or contamination / spreading during the biopsy procedure .

I am sure Bonni or Olga or anyone more knowledges can clarify.
Love to you all.
Ps always # 1 TO DO on list

The pathologist sends a pathology report to the doctor within 10 days after the biopsy or surgery is performed. Pathology reports are written in technical medical language. Patients may want to ask their doctors to give them a copy of the pathology report and to explain the report to them. Patients also may wish to keep a copy of their pathology report in their own records (1).
