A member asked:
Are there any chances biopsy to turn benign into malign tissue? can biopsy irritate or harm 99% benign tissue?

Biopsy will not transform a benign lesion into a malignant one. You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, maintain healthy weight, get HPV vaccine, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
