Prostate biopsy: The turnaround time to get results from a biopsy depends on where your doctor is sending the tissue to be reviewed. Most biopsies take 2-3 days to be processed and reviewed, but a slightly complicated case may take 5-6 days and a very complicated case might take longer. Also, after the biopsy report is available, it might take a few days for your doctor to actually view it.
