Can Biopsies Spread Cancer?

My father(age-50yrs, height-6 feet, weight- I don't know, medical history- victim of piles) has a wound in his food pipe.Because of which his stomach is fattening,without eating anything(he does not feels hungry ). And a specimen of some part has been sent to Mumbai for diagnosis(byopsis). And we are afraid that diagnosis may lead to cancer. So, I wanted to know can this be a cause of cancer to any extent?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have esophageal cancer or may be some benign lesion. Biopsy give the exact diagnosis and then you should take treatment accordingly. Biopsy is not a cause of cancer spread. It just a diagnostic procedures. Just wait for your biopsy diagnosis and then take treatment accordingly.
