The invention relates to a method for providing information on a relative position of a tissue sample (14), wherein the tissue sample (14) is a collected part of a tissue of interest (10) of a patient (12), comprising the steps of providing an image (22) of the labeled tissue (10) of interest using a sensor device (20, S2), determining a collection site (18) on the tissue of interest (10) by using the provided image (22), and, according to the determined excision site (18), determining a relative position of the tissue sample (14). A labeling of the tissue (10) may be performed using e.g. a rinsing agent or a biopsy device as labeling device (16).
