Can negative biopsies sometimes cause cancer by disturbing the normal cell multiplication and then on subsequent biopsy show up as positive for cancer Can biopsies accidentally cause cancer?
It is highly unlikely that a biopsy procedure would cause cancer that did not previously exist. However, it may be possible for a biopsy procedure to spread existing malignancy by means of what is referred to as "needle tracking". Needle tracking refers to the possibility of malignant cells escaping encapsulation by leaking out through the path taken by the biopsy needle. This is controversial, with proponents citing evidence of needle tracking discovered through observation of cancer cells "marked" with fluorescent dyes appearing in the vacant bore left by a biopsy needle. Opponents claim that presence of cancer cells in the vacant bore do not prove cell metastasis.
