  schema:description "A core biopsy uses a hollow needle, guided by ultrasound or a scan, to take thin strips of tissue so a pathologist can say what an abnormality is. Breast biopsies are done under local anaesthetic in clinic, sometimes leaving a tiny marker. Liver biopsies need a plan for blood thinners and a few hours of observation; call the hospital for fever, breathlessness, heavy bleeding or bad pain."@en ;
