#FNAProcedur

[drhitendrakgarg]

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to collect a sample of cells or fluid from a suspicious lump or area in the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to help diagnose various conditions, including cancer.

FNA is performed for several reasons:

Diagnosis of cancer: FNA is commonly used to determine whether a lump or mass is cancerous or benign (non-cancerous). It can be used on various parts of the body, such as the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, and soft tissues.

Evaluation of abnormal cells: Even if a lump is not suspected to be cancerous, FNA can help identify the cause of abnormal cells or inflammation. This can be useful in diagnosing infections or other non-cancerous conditions.

Guiding treatment decisions: In cases where cancer is already diagnosed, FNA can help determine the specific type of cancer and its characteristics. This information is crucial for selecting the most appropriate treatment options.

Monitoring response to treatment: FNA can also be used to assess how well a cancer is responding to treatment by monitoring changes in the cells over time.
