Understanding CT Guided - FNAC (Fine Needed Aspiration)

What is CT Guided - FNAC (Fine Needed Aspiration)?

CT Guided - FNAC (Fine Needed Aspiration) is a pinhole non-invasive diagnostic procedure done to extract cells from the target site and study them under the microscope for validation and diagnosis. Cells from target sites (eg. breast, skin or any soft tissue) are extracted with the use of a fine needle/syringe, which is inserted through the skin under the guidance of CT so that the margin of error is minimised.

The obtained sample of cells is later studied under the microscope by a cytologist. Depending on the structure and the composition of the cells, the cells are classified as either benign or malignant (cancerous). Furthermore, staging of cancer can also be done. So, take the test and prevent the progression of cancer.

What is CT Guided - FNAC (Fine Needed Aspiration) used for?

To detect and diagnose cancer in deep seated organs which cannot be accessed with invasive surgical procedures
To evaluate the recurrence of a cancer following therapy and monitor the efficacy of the treatment (chemotherapy) for tumors already diagnosed
To differentiate between benign tumor (localized) and malignant tumor (spreading cancer)
To diagnose breast cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, colon / rectum cancer, lung cancer, blood cancer, lymph node cancer
To monitor the characterization and progression of the stages of cancer (stage I - stage IV)
