Q&A: Is a lapriscopy biopsy more accurate than a needle biopsy?
Question by brooklyn1023: Is a lapriscopy biopsy more accurate than a needle biopsy?
My grandmother was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer almost 1 month ago, after the dr’s doing a needle biopsy. Her lung collapsed, but she recovered very well, very fast and had no trouble breathing with it collapsed 80%. They came back and said she has characteristics of both small cell and non-small cell and said they wanted to send off the slides to california for further testing. After doing this, they still aren’t satisfied and want to perform a lapriscopy biopsy. I was wondering if someone that either performs these —dr’s, nurses, someone in the medical field– or someone that has had this kind of biopsy done could tell me how accurate it is and what should be expected from it. My family is tired of being yanked back and forth with dr’s who “don’t know for sure”. Please let me know of any experiences you’ve had.. Thanks!!

Answer by Bozema
Given that your grandmother had a bad reaction to the less invasive needle biopsy, I would ask her doctor specifically what they are trying to determine from the laparoscopic biopsy that would be different from the needle biopsy. If you are not happy with the doctors you’ve seen, get a recommendation, go to a major medical center and find a better one. If they can’t answer your questions in a straightforward way (“I don’t know” without an explanation of what the next steps shouldd be is not acceptable) or they can’t tell you exactly what they intend to accomplish, you need another doctor.
That said, the diagnosis process is the most stressful time for cancer patients and their families. It takes time, and you have to wait for answers which are sometimes not good. So do keep that in mind.

Have you ever had a Fine Needle Biopsy of nodules in the lung….?
Question by Little Gussie: Have you ever had a Fine Needle Biopsy of nodules in the lung….?
I had a lung cancer scare about five years ago. I was told I needed a biopsy of some nodules found in my right lung. The doctors opted not to perform the biopsy, but to instead use CT scans and watch for any changes. Five years later (now), I was sent for a chest x-ray that revealed a shadow in my left lung, in addition to nodules in my right lung. There is a third nodule in my right lung and a new shadow in my left lung that is unidentified. I am seeing different doctors now, who are confused about why a biopsy was never performed. They told me that cancer cannot be ruled out without a biopsy. I have been instructed to take my x-rays over to a special radiologist who will decide if a biopsy is required and can be performed. I was told a CT scan with contrast was required, but none was ordered. Now I’m getting nervous! I had to call my doctor and ask if I should get the CT scan with C, before the radiologist appointment and he told me to come by and pick up the order. I’m feeling really strange about this and need some feed back. Please, if you have any experience or knowledge about this type of procedure, I would really appreciate hearing from you now? My appointment for the possible biopsy is the day after tomorrow. My knees are knocking and I’m kind of frightened at this point. I feel I might be stumbling into a nest of trouble with all the ifs, and missed details……………………..
Please don’t spam my answer with links to sell products to cure cancer…*sigh*
I’m worried about a BIOPSY…please concentrate on the question? I’m looking for advise…not to spend my money on your websites.

Answer by Interferer
Firstly, have you ever had any other cancer which might make you wonder that you have lung cancer now?
Are you a smoker and do you have a cough, shortness of breath or pain in your chest/back?
Depending on where the abnormal tissue is you are likely to have either a Bronchoscope biopsy (where a long torch instrument goes through the nose or mouth and the removes a piece of tissue for analysis) or a Needle biopsy (thru the chest) if the abnormal tissue is near to the chest wall. A CT scan will help with this procedure. You should also be given a blood test too.
I hope you will be OK and send you my best wishes.

Q&A: Does anyone know the procedure for a needle biopsy of nodules in the lung? Do they sedate you?
Question by teetzijo: Does anyone know the procedure for a needle biopsy of nodules in the lung? Do they sedate you?
Best answer:
Answer by copy & paste
A nodule is defined as a relatively round lesion that is less than three centimeters in diameter. A lung nodule is located within the lung itself, not in the airways. A patient with a lung nodule usually experiences no symptoms; the nodule is most often detected on a chest x-ray. More than half of solitary or single nodules within the chest are benign, or non-cancerous, usually due to a previous infection. However, all solitary chest nodules are considered potentially malignant until proven otherwise, and for this a needle biopsy may be required.
A biopsy involves removing a small piece of tissue for examination by a physician. A needle biopsy, sometimes called a needle aspiration, is the easiest way that tissue can be safely removed from the body. The procedure, which is most often performed by a radiologist or interventional radiologist, involves a needle that is inserted through the skin. The needle biopsy may use a syringe or an automated needle to obtain the tissue sample.
Once a nodule is detected, a computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET) scan may be performed to help characterize it and to help estimate the likelihood of malignancy. If the CT or PET scan cannot clearly identify positively benign features in the nodule, a needle biopsy may be necessary. When a physician orders a needle biopsy, the nodule is usually believed to be unreachable by other diagnostic techniques, such as bronchoscopy.-
Once the location of the nodule is confirmed , the entry site is marked on the skin. The skin around the insertion site will be scrubbed and disinfected, and a clean and sterile drape will be applied. A LOCAL ANESTHETIC WILL BE INJECTED to numb the path of the needle through the skin, muscle and lining of the chest cavity. Then, a small incision, approximately 1/8 of an inch, will be made into the skin, so that the biopsy needle can be inserted.-

Experimental system for robotic lung needle biopsy
This system uses feedback from a camera (not seen in the video) to determine the position of the only pea in a moving cup full of corn. Only the system starts tracking the pea, the robotic arm fitted with a biopsy needle moves and picks up the only pea in the cup.

Lung Biopsy by needle?
Question by Jennield: Lung Biopsy by needle?
When a biopsy is done by needle, can the Dr. tell immediately if the cancer is malignant or benign?
I know they can tell right away when surgery is performed to remove a lump.
Best answer:
Answer by transplant mom
the doctor probably won’t be able to tell by looking at the needle, but should be able to get lab pathology results quickly.
A needle biopsy takes just a tiny bit of tissue. It’ll have to be processed and viewed under a microscope.
If there is someone standing by and ready, that can happen almost immediately. If the doctor is doing the biopsy in his office, or in a small hospital and has to send the sample out for processing, it could take a couple of days.

Answer by merci
in the GI lab, the doc will give you meds to make you sedated yet able to respond (no worries, you won’t remember), then they usually go down your throat into the lung and get the tissue needed. it is actually a simple procedure that lasts about 30 minutes. hope it helps.
