Some FAQs on FNAC
FNAC – Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. The FNAC test is a simple, rapid, and low-cost test to assess a specific condition or body region. It involves aspirating cells from a particular body region using a fine gauge needle. The sample is then sent to the lab, where it is examined under a microscope through several processes. This test is quite helpful in diagnosing inflammatory diseases and malignancies of varying types. This technique is commonly used for examination of the breast, kidney, liver, lungs, prostate, pancreas, salivary glands, retroperitoneum, and lymph nodes.
How painful is the FNAC test?
He FNAC technique is normally well tolerated, with most patients reporting minor to no discomfort throughout the operation. However, you may feel a little discomfort while the needle is inserted. There were no patients who were in severe discomfort. Also, when necessary, local anesthesia is given before the procedure.
Are biopsies and FNAC the same?
A biopsy is mostly a surgical procedure of removing a part of the body tissue to examine in the laboratory for any abnormality. FNAC is a simple form of biopsy that is less traumatic and requires only a sample of cells aspirated with the help of a syringe. As there are only limited cells collected in FNAC, sometimes your physician may advise a surgical biopsy.
When is cytology used?
Healthcare providers and pathologists most commonly use cytology to diagnose or screen for cancer. A healthcare provider only uses a diagnostic test for a person if they have signs or symptoms that suggest they might have a certain disease or infection. A diagnostic test, such as a cytology test, determines if abnormal cells are present. If so, the test accurately classifies the disease.
What are the risks and disadvantages of cytology tests?
Complications from cytology tests are very rare and if they happen, they’re often mild. Like many types of medical tests, a cytology test can give a false negative or false positive result. Additionally, in some cases, tissue biopsies can be more accurate than cytology tests.
What are the benefits of cytology tests?
Cytology tests have many benefits due to the small amount of tissue or fluid sample that is needed for the test. Compared to a tissue biopsy, which healthcare providers also use to determine a diagnosis, a cytology test:
- Is less invasive.
- Causes less discomfort and pain.
- Is less likely to cause complications.
- Costs less.
