Both CT and USG-guided biopsies are generally safe and well-tolerated. They are performed on an outpatient basis and do not require general anesthesia. After the biopsy, the patient may experience some mild discomfort or bruising at the site of the needle insertion, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days. The tissue samples collected during the biopsy are sent to a laboratory for analysis, which can take several days to a week to complete. The results of the biopsy can help the doctor determine the best course of treatment for the patient.

Both pleural and ascitic tapping are generally safe and well-tolerated. They are performed on an outpatient basis and do not require general anesthesia. After the procedure, the patient may experience some mild discomfort or soreness at the site of the puncture, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days. The collected fluid is sent to a laboratory for analysis, which can help the doctor determine the underlying cause of the fluid accumulation and the best course of treatment for the patient.

HCGs, or human chorionic gonadotropin, are hormones that are produced by the placenta during pregnancy. These hormones play a vital role in maintaining the production of estrogen and progesterone, which are necessary for a healthy pregnancy. HCGs are commonly used to confirm pregnancy, as a pregnancy test measures the levels of HCGs in a woman's urine or blood. In addition to pregnancy testing, HCGs can be used to treat infertility in both men and women by triggering ovulation and improving sperm count. HCGs can also be used to monitor and treat testicular cancer, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for this cancer.
