FNAC Test

What is a Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) Test?

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology or FNAC test in Pakistan is a specialized biopsy test that helps the medical practitioner to determine whether the lump in the neck or breast is cancerous or benign. This test is also helpful in diagnosing the illnesses of salivary glands, thyroid, or lymph nodes.

In this test, a fine needle is inserted into the area of tissue or body fluid that looks abnormal.

Just like other biopsies, the sample collected with the help of fine needle aspiration is helpful in diagnosing and ruling out cancer.

It is generally considered a safe diagnostic procedure and complications are very rare.

When is an FNAC Test Performed?

A medical practitioner would recommend an FNAC test if the doctor has discovered anything concerning imaging tests. For example

  • Mammogram
  • CT scan
  • Ultrasound

The doctor would recommend FNAC for:

  • Fluid-filled lumps i.e. cysts
  • Solid lumps such as masses or nodules
  • Enlarged lymph nodes
  • Without a biopsy test, it is extremely hard for a doctor to assess what the abnormal areas are.

What Happens When an FNAC Test is Positive?

If the test result of FNAC is positive then your doctor would start the treatment accordingly. However, if the result of the FNAC is negative then the malignancy shouldn’t be ruled out as the value of NPV of the FNAC test is low (37%). In this case, the PET/CT is recommended for the patients for a complete diagnosis.
