FNAC with procedure
Overview
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a diagnostic procedure where a thin, hollow needle is inserted into a lump or mass to extract a small sample of cells. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed under local anesthesia. The collected cells are then analyzed microscopically to detect any abnormal or cancerous cells. FNAC is commonly used for evaluating masses in the thyroid, breast, and lymph nodes.
Frequently Asked Questions
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses in tissues. It helps determine if the cells are benign or malignant by extracting and analyzing a small sample of cells from the suspected area.
A thin, hollow needle is inserted into the lump or mass, and a small sample of cells is aspirated (suctioned) through the needle. The sample is then examined under a microscope for any abnormalities.
FNAC is generally well-tolerated. Patients may feel a slight discomfort or pinching sensation during the needle insertion. Local anesthesia may be used to minimize pain.
There is usually no special preparation required, but inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, any allergies, and if you have any blood clotting issues. Follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
