FNAC

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) test don is to study and examine masses or lumps under the surface of the skin (such as in the head or neck), salivary glands, breasts, prostate, colon, thyroid glands or other organs of the body. It is recommeded in case of a lump or pain felt under the skin.

This test is helpful to detect and diagnose cancer in deep seated organs which cannot be accessed with other invasive surgical procedures. It is also used to detect the recurrence of a cancer and to monitor the efficacy of an ongoing cancer treatment.

This process involves minimum invasion hence preferred over other diagnostic methods.
