tissue sample

Lab analysis material

A tissue sample is a small piece of biological material—skin, muscle, organ, tumor—removed from a living or dead body for examination.

Doctors take tissue samples through biopsy, surgery, or swab to diagnose disease, test for genetic conditions, or conduct research.

The lab analyzed the tissue sample for signs of cancer.
