Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is one of the most reliable and commonly used cancer diagnostic procedures at the Asian Center of Oncology and Hematology. This minimally invasive technique involves using a thin, hollow needle to extract cells from a lump or swelling for microscopic examination. It is a quick and safe procedure that helps oncologists determine whether a growth is benign or cancerous.

Our experienced oncologists often recommend FNAC when investigating suspicious lumps or swellings, particularly in easily accessible areas such as the breast, neck, thyroid gland, salivary glands, and lymph nodes. The results from FNAC play a vital role in establishing a preliminary diagnosis, guiding further investigations or immediate treatment planning.

FNAC is not only cost-effective but also allows for early detection of malignancies, which is crucial in improving treatment outcomes. At the Asian Center of Oncology and Hematology, our advanced pathology support ensures that FNAC results are processed and interpreted with precision and speed—helping patients receive timely and accurate care.
