Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology performed and reported in-house by consultant pathologist Dr. Shalin Nagori (MBBS, MD Pathology, PGCIH) at our lab near Halol Bus Stand.
FNAC is a quick, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure. A very fine needle is used to draw a small sample of cells from a lump or swelling, which is then examined under the microscope by a pathologist. It usually avoids the need for a surgical biopsy and gives an early answer about the nature of a swelling.
