A biopsy support system includes: a virtual shape image generating section that generates a virtual shape image of an inside of a body cavity which is an insertion target from image data in a three-dimensional region with respect to a subject an endoscope provided with an endoscope insertion portion and a channel an ultrasound probe inserted into the channel including an ultrasound transducer and a position sensor that detects a three-dimensional position provided at a distal end portion thereof an ultrasound image generating section that generates an ultrasound tomographic image, a position detection section that detects a three-dimensional position corresponding to both end positions of a target tissue on the ultrasound tomographic image based on movement of the ultrasound probe protruded from the channel and an image display control section that displays information on a biopsy range based on the both end positions superimposed on a virtual shape image.
