1. A surgical method for treatment or diagnosing cancer of a human, comprising the steps:
a) inserting an endosurgical device into the human,
b) bringing a distal end of the endosurgical device to an area suspected of cancer,
c) closing a pair of jaws of the endosurgical device by displacing an end effector inside an effector sleeve to enclose a tissue specimen and defining a biopsy cup inside the pair of jaws,
d) activating diathermy by providing current via an electrical cord to the pair of jaws to sever the tissue specimen and set the tissue specimen free for accommodation inside the biopsy cup,
e) flushing the tissue specimen out of the biopsy cup with a fluid, and
f) collecting the tissue specimen at a proximal end fluidly connected to the distal end of the endosurgical device,
wherein severing the tissue specimen by diathermy is performed without another cutting feature.
