Your doctor may know the cause of the virus's activity - a concomitant decrease in immunity or an exacerbation of a chronic form.
If a decision is made to remove, a biopsy is ordered at the same time. The resulting tissue is sent for cytological, histological examination. Cells that provide a reliable answer are examined - a dangerous element or not, as far as the degree of malignancy is likely, transformation into cancer.
