The easiest way to do this is by putting a needle into the area of suspected cancer, and taking out some cells. This can be a problem with cancer of the pancreas. Specialist surgeons do not usually take biopsies by putting a needle in if they think the cancer is removable with surgery (resectable). There is too much of a risk that taking the biopsy could spread pancreatic cancer. If it is likely that your cancer can be removed, then your diagnosis will be made entirely by the doctor examining you and considering the results of your scans and tests. A confirmed diagnosis can be made when you have your surgery. If you have a cancer that is not removable with surgery, your specialist may want to biopsy it so that you can go on to have cancer treatment to try to slow down its growth. If all your other test results point to cancer and your consultant thinks there is no doubt that this is what you have, you may not need a biopsy before you have treatment.
