Biopsy


Medical test involving the removal of cells or tissues for examination.


 

Example One:

 

If a mole on your skin changes shape or color, a doctor may want to do a biopsy to check for skin cancer.

Paraphrase:

If a mole on your skin changes shape or color, a doctor may want to cut some of it away and test it to check for skin cancer.

 

 

Example Two:

 
  A biopsy can show whether cells are benign  or malignant. By removing cells and testing them, doctors can tell whether cells are harmless or dangerous.
