Bone Marrow Biopsy

A bone marrow biopsy is a medical procedure in which a sample of bone marrow is taken for testing. The sample is usually taken from the hip or other large bone. Bone marrow contains immature blood cells and is used to diagnose a variety of diseases, such as cancer, anemia, and certain infections. The results of the biopsy help doctors determine the best course of treatment and can provide valuable insight into the overall health of a person's blood system. Bone marrow biopsy is an important tool in diagnosing and treating many medical conditions.
