Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726 .
1 Can I have a Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy in Srikakulam? Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy isn’t available in Srikakulam itself. CION arranges it at a partner centre, usually in a bigger city, and your doctor tells you where to go. Your consultation and follow-up can be in Srikakulam or by video.
2 Does a biopsy spread cancer? No. This is a common worry, but a biopsy done properly does not spread cancer. It is the only sure way to diagnose it.
3 Should I stop blood thinners? Don’t stop any medicine on your own. Tell your doctor what you take, and they tell you whether and when to pause it.
