FNAC(FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY) TEST

The FNAC method is typically performed in an outpatient department for sampling masses, such as those observed in the neck, and breast, and diseases like lymphoma, tuberculosis, etc. It serves as the initial step in identifying the underlying cause of abnormal swellings. An aspiration cytology test is recommended when a lump is discovered in the breast or neck. This test is used to determine if the lump is cancerous. Additionally, it is employed in diagnosing thyroid disease, salivary gland disease, and lymph node disease.
