In this concise YouTube short, the speaker addresses the concern that needle biopsies might trigger tumor spread (seeding). He presents organ‑specific seeding rates reported in the literature—liver (0.6‑2.3%), kidney (~0.01%), prostate (extremely rare), lung (variable by route), and breast (<0.01%)—and emphasizes that these rates are associated with suboptimal technique. The core message is that modern, controlled biopsy methods dramatically reduce the risk of seeding, making it a rare event when performed correctly.
