Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology [FNAC] – Review Article
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 15
Abstract
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) as we know it today dates back to around 1950. FNAC being easy, safe, cost effective should be preferred as first line diagnostic method by all clinicians. Before any surgical intervention, FNAC reports direct surgeon about what treatment modality to be used. Surgical pathology has its own confirmatory role post- operatively but importance of FNAC is also well known by all clinicians. Therefore, there has to be a setting of dedicated FNAC clinic in the department of pathology. With the help of imaging modalities, FNAC has evolved as more accurate and specific method, while the use of ancillary techniques makes even this easy procedure as highly useful for diagnosis and prognosis of various lesions.
