At NOVAPATH DIAGNOSTICS, our FNAC services provide a fast, reliable, and minimally invasive method for evaluating lumps, swellings, or masses in any part of the body. The technique involves aspirating cellular material using a fine needle, which is then examined microscopically to determine the nature of the lesion - benign, inflammatory, or malignant.
FNAC is a simple, safe, and outpatient procedure that requires no anesthesia or hospitalization, and patients can resume normal activities immediately after the test. This makes it an ideal first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating suspicious masses and swellings.
FNAC is widely used for diagnostic evaluation of various lumps and swellings across different body sites. Our services cover:
Our FNAC procedure follows a systematic approach to ensure accurate sampling and diagnosis. The entire process is designed to be patient-friendly and efficient.
Rapid procedure that provides quick results at a fraction of the cost of surgical biopsies. The entire process from aspiration to preliminary report can often be completed within hours.
Performed as an outpatient procedure without the need for general anesthesia or hospital admission. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the test.
Uses very fine needles causing minimal pain and discomfort. The procedure is well-tolerated by patients of all age groups, including children and elderly.
Enables early diagnosis of cancer when treatment is most effective. Can detect malignancies at their earliest stages, significantly improving treatment outcomes.
Provides crucial information that guides clinicians in planning appropriate surgical procedures or medical therapy based on the cytological diagnosis.
Helps prevent unnecessary invasive surgical procedures in cases where lesions are found to be benign or inflammatory, saving patients from surgical risks and costs.
Careful clinical examination and palpation of the lump or swelling. For deep lesions, ultrasound or CT guidance is used to precisely locate the target area
Sterile fine needle insertion into the lesion with gentle suction to collect cellular material. Multiple passes may be made to ensure adequate sampling
