1 -- An incisional biopsy is the removal of part of a larger tumor by cutting through the skin. A fine-needle biopsy uses a very thin needle to aspirate a small amount of tissue from the tumors. A needle core biopsy uses a slightly larger needle than that used for a fine-needle biopsy to extract a small amount of tissue from tumors that cannot be aspirated by fine-needle aspiration. An excisional biopsy is the removal of an entire tumor through surgery.
