tissue sampling
Tissue sampling is the medical or scientific procedure of removing a small piece of living tissue from a body for examination, typically under a microscope.
The sample may be taken by needle, scalpel, or other instrument, depending on the tissue's location and the diagnostic purpose.
In medicine, tissue sampling is essential for diagnosing cancers and other diseases; in research, it enables analysis of cellular structure and genetic material.
The biopsy involved tissue sampling from the suspicious mass.
