FNAC in Kekri

What is an FNAC Test?

FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a simple and minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to collect cells from a lump, swelling, or suspicious mass using a thin, fine needle. The collected cells are then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to identify whether the swelling is caused by infection, inflammation, a benign (non-cancerous) condition, or cancer.

FNAC can be used for examination of lumps in the thyroid gland, breasts, lymph nodes, salivary glands, and many other soft tissues. It is quite common that doctors suggest doing an FNAC in Kekri when there is a need to diagnose a lump.

The procedure is quick, usually takes only a few minutes, and does not require surgery or stitches.
