I think you mean Biopsy sample. The Biopsy is taken by Oncosurgeon and sample sent to the pathology lab to confirm the cancer. The surgeon may ask for imaging like CT scan, MRI or ultrasound if he feels it to be necessary. After the imaging and Biopsy, we advise regarding the surgery, which may consist of removing the cancer with margin, neck dissection and reconstruction with a free flap or a local flap if necessary. Advanced disease may be advised chemotherapy before surgery to shrink the disease. Also, if needed, Patient may need radiation or chemoradiation post operatively. I am a cancer surgeon in mumbai. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any doubts. Also, you can meet me if you want to discuss in person.
