Information about Specific Medical Procedures

CancerQuest produces videos to educate patients about medical procedures commonly used to detect, diagnose or treat cancer.

It is important for patients to understand the possible outcomes of medical tests and the limitations of the test being used (i.e. how small a mass can the test detect, etc.).

We suggest that you view the videos about medical test results on the next page and then come back to watch videos on specific tests.

Choose a topic below to go to page with more details and view a documentary video/animation:

• Biopsy (Core Biopsy)
• Biopsy (FIne Needle Aspiration)
• Gastrostomy (G-tube, PEG tube, stomach tube)
• Mammography
• Ultrasound
• Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
• Care of Central Lines (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters, or PICC lines)

A collection of breast cancer videos and a timeline of breast cancer detection and diagnosis is also available in the Breast Cancer Education section.
