Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure that involves the collection of cells using a fine needle from a suspicious lump or swelling. The collected cells are then examined under a microscope to determine the presence of abnormal cells or cancerous growths. It is a quick, simple, and cost-effective method of diagnosing various types of cancer and other medical conditions.

Symptoms that require FNAC

FNAC is typically recommended when a patient has a lump or swelling that appears to be growing or is accompanied by other symptoms such as:

• Pain or discomfort
• Changes in skin color or texture
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fever or night sweats
• Fatigue or weakness

Diagnosis with FNAC

FNAC is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office or clinic. The patient is usually given a local anesthetic to numb the area around the lump or swelling. The doctor then inserts a thin, hollow needle into the area and gently aspirates (suctions) some cells into a syringe.

The collected cells are then smeared onto a glass slide and sent to a laboratory for examination by a pathologist. The pathologist examines the cells under a microscope to determine if they are normal or abnormal. If abnormal cells are found, the pathologist can usually identify the type of cancer or other medical condition.

Slide for Review 18-24 Slides

After the cells are collected and examined, a report is generated that includes a diagnosis and recommendations for further treatment. In some cases, the pathologist may request additional slides for review to confirm the diagnosis. These additional slides are included in the cost of the initial FNAC procedure.

Cost of FNAC in India

The cost of FNAC in India varies depending on the location and type of medical facility. On average, the cost of FNAC ranges from INR 4500 to INR 8000. It is important to note that some medical insurance policies cover the cost of FNAC, so it is always a good idea to check with your insurance provider before scheduling the procedure.

Conclusion

FNAC is a safe, cost-effective, and reliable method of diagnosing various types of cancer and other medical conditions. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office or clinic. If you have a lump or swelling that is causing concern, talk to your doctor about whether FNAC is an appropriate diagnostic option.
