Definition:Help on this term

A section of tissue that has been removed in a way that preserves the histological architecture of the tissue's cells. A core biopsy procedure may be used to remove a section of tissue directly from an individual, or biopsy cores may be taken from a larger section of tissue that has been surgically removed from an individual.

Core biopsies are most commonly performed as a diagnostic test for cancerous conditions.
