Hi,
Definitely, most of the times results of biopsy are not immediately available. As, it involves processing the tissue, staining and examining under a microscope by a qualified pathologist. The whole procedure may take from a few days to a few weeks depending on the no. of samples and availability of staff.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
