Quick test · Results explained by your doctor
A core needle biopsy uses a slightly larger hollow needle to take thin strips of tissue, which give more detail about a tumour than cells alone.
Your CION doctor explains the result with you and tells you what happens next.
What happens on the day.
Your doctor examines you and checks whether a biopsy is needed, and which kind.

The sample is checked in a lab. Your doctor explains the result and the next steps with you.
