If you're having a LEEP, you probably already had a cervical biopsy that did not show cancer. It is unlikely that the LEEP biopsy will show cancer. In the unlikely event that it does, your health care provider will talk to you about appropriate options, which, again, are likely to be minimal since you were considered a LEEP candidate (i.e. thought not to have cancer) in the first place. Please call your health care provider today to put your mind at ease regarding this question.

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.


Why does ovarian cancer show the most aggressive growth?

Not always but it is considered one of the most aggresive. If a biopsy is done on it the cancer can spread by following the tract of the needle used to biopsy it. Biopsies used to be done on ovarian but they learned the hard way that you must surgicaly remove them instead.

Would an MRI show bone cancer of the lower back?

Yes, an MRI can show bone cancer in the lower back. It provides detailed images of soft tissues, bones, and the surrounding structures, making it effective for detecting tumors, including those in the vertebrae. Additionally, MRI can help assess the extent of the cancer and its impact on nearby tissues. However, while it can show lesions or abnormalities, a definitive diagnosis may require a biopsy.


Can an MRI show cancer in the knee?

Yes, an MRI can be used to detect cancer in the knee by providing detailed images of the soft tissues, bones, and cartilage in that area. It can help identify tumors, assess their size and extent, and determine if cancer has spread to nearby structures. However, a definitive diagnosis often requires additional tests, such as a biopsy.


How are the findings of biopsy results interpreted?

Most biopsies are done to rule out endometrial cancer or endometrial hyperplasia. A normal result shows no cancerous or precancerous cells. Normal results also show that the uterine lining is changing at the proper rate. If it is, then the results of the biopsy are said to be "in-phase" because the tissue looks appropriate and has developed normally for the late phase of the menstrual cycle.- Lata Cherath, PhD

Can cancer show up in a blood test?

well sometimes it just depends what kind of cancer it is. But for breast cancer no it doesn't show up in blood. the only way the can tell if you have breast cancer is by doing a breast exam. if the doctor sees a lump under your boob(s) or on the side by your armpit then you do have breast cancer. you can also do self exams. all you have to do it be topless and stand in front of a mirror, you lift up one boob then check to see if there is a lump you also wanna feel under your boob then you do the same thing to the other boob.


Should you get a second opinion before having cone biopsy?

A cone biopsy is only done after other tests have come back positive, so I don't think a second opinion is medically necessary. In order to practice as a doctor, all doctors have to have passed exams and be licensed to practice. If your smears have show cancerous cells and you do not feel comfortable with your doctor it may be better for you to work with another doctor as it is likely that the treatment will be emotional for you and may last a long time. But doing a cone biopsy after a positive smear test is normal, routine standard procedure.
