Spanish
biopsia excisionaldefinition: tipo de biopsia que remueve el tumor del área sospechosa en su totalidad. La excisión es el procedimiento estándar para hacer biopsias en tumores con un diámetro menor de una pulgada. De hecho equivale a la extracción del tumor y tejido en rededor (en combinación con radioterapia), que se utiliza como tratamiento para un cáncer temprano del seno. Tiene la ventaja de que entrega al patólogo la lesión completa. (es)
