[edit] Lymph node biopsy

Lymph node biopsy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Excessively specific article/title. There seems to be no discernable difference between this and any other type of biopsy, only the target cells. The article could feasably be merged to Biopsy. Ohconfucius 07:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy keep. Different tests, different indications, different procedures. A lymph node biopsy differs from a bone marrow biopsy, which differs from gastric and colonic and liver biopsies. Not excessive whatsoever -- Samir धर्म 07:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Seems OK to me. A merge to biopsy, which would be the best logical alternative, would unbalance that article. Grutness...wha? 07:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - does have some parallels in biopsy - but makes specifics clear.SkierRMH,08:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep - definatly not excessive, a unique test that differs from other biopsy. Has important clinical applications in diagnosis and classification of cancer, which alone makes it significant enough. -- JE.at.UWO^U|_T 07:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
