Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I will always advice that you get biopsy before undertaking a surgical procedure where cancer has to be ruled out. This does not only help in making the diagnosis but it is very important to choose the type of treatment that is best adapted for you. I understand the pros and cons but getting fully evaluated before surgically intervention should not be compromised otherwise you would end up with results tat you may not really love.

I hope this helps and I wish you well.
Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask more questions if need be.
