Biopsy is the diagnosing process of lung cancer which helps to confirm the wound or the extension in the cell is the lung tumor. there are different types of biopsy methods explained in these slides

1. Biopsies In Lung Cancer
Diagnosis Process

2. Lung Cancer Diagnosis
• Lung cancer is the tumor which originates from the
protruded part, stones or prolonged wounds.
• The lung cancer is sometimes misconnected with other
types of lung cancer and left untreated for maximum
duration.
• So , at present experts suggest for the biopsy test if the
inflammation and stone is detected at any part of the
body.

3. Biopsy
• Biopsy is one of the cancer diagnosis method which is
performed by taking the small portion of cells and
examined under microscope.
• This test is done with some pain. The biopsy is of many
types and some of its are mentioned in the below
paragraphs.

5. Bronchoscopy
• In this type the tube is inserted into the lung through
throat and windpipe.
• This is long and thin fiber optic tube which can be
inserted with ease after the numbing medicine is given to
the patients.
• For this treatment process, the patients doesn’t need to
be admitted in the hospital for long duration. the lung
cancer through this detected less precisely.
• Once the cancer cell is found, it is then taken by the
process called biopsies

7. Endobronchial
Ultrasonography
• This type of biopsy is done to detect the large cell.
• The transducers are kept at the end of the fiber-optic
wire.
• The black and white image is generated in the computer
screen.
• By looking the pathway in the computer, doctors insert
the needle to take the sample out. Then the sample is
tested under microscope.

9. Needle Biopsies
• The hollow needles are inserted into the part and the cell
is extracted.
• No harming will happen to the patients in this testing
process.
• This of two types:
• 1. fine needle aspiration: very thin syringe is used to take
the cell out for testing
• 2. Core Biopsy: large sized needles are used to extract the
big cells

11. Surgical Biopsy
• This types are opted when required with more amount of
cell.
• There are three types of surgical biopsy:
• 1. Thoracotomy: here, the chest wall is cut and the cells
are taken for testing.
• 2. Thoracoscopy: the cut made in this level is little lighter
than above type. The thin cut is made and video camera
is inserted through which the tumor cell is targeted and
removed for testing.
• 3. Mediastinoscopy: this is done by cutting in front of the
neck. A thin, hollow tube is inserted into the breast bone
and windpipe.

13. • These are most common type of biopsy types employed
in the lung cancer diagnosis.

• Despite all the other diagnosis process, this is very
effective and provide precise result regarding the
presence of lung cancer

14. • Lung cancer
symptoms(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com) is one of
the blogs which showcases the information regarding the
lung cancer causes, treatment procedures, stages,
symptoms and other unknown details.
• The blogs updated provides pool of information
regarding lung cancer.
