FNAC Test Price In Mumbai
Fine needle aspiration cytology is known as FNAC. Cells from tumors or swelling are aspirated using a tiny bore thin needle, and the diagnosis is then determined using the cell’s characteristics, or more specifically, the study of cells or cytology. Professionals with experience carry out FNAC tests in Mumbai operations in Medintu-approved laboratories, the sample’s suitability is assessed on a table, and the FNAC Test price in Mumbai is affordable. Among other things, FNAC is quite good at quickly diagnosing lesions of the breast, thyroid, and lymph nodes. The FNAC treatment is safe and minimally invasive, and it only takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Following the treatment, the lump/substance swelling is spread out on the slides and stained using specialized methods for examination under a microscope. To make additional medical and surgical decisions, the cell morphology is thoroughly investigated and a diagnosis is provided. At Medintu, our goal is to complete operations as quickly as possible while maintaining the greatest level of accuracy and efficacy.

What exactly does an FNAC test consist of?
A pathologist and a qualified lab technician (LT) would examine the tissue sample obtained by needle aspiration in an FNAC test to determine whether the cells were benign (a non-cancerous tumor) or malignant (cancer cells) in origin. To determine the reasons for the lump or swelling, pathologists will also examine the cell or tissue patterns. Additional testing is suggested to determine the causes if a diagnosis cannot be made.
FNAC test procedure:
- Before the test, the patient must complete a form with basic information and a consent document.
- There is no extensive fasting required before the test. However, if the pathologist or your doctor considers that fasting is necessary, they may give you instructions on how to accomplish so.
- Because this test only lasts approximately five minutes and is not particularly unpleasant, anesthesia is not required. As a result, the patient may experience some little discomfort throughout the brief operation.
- To prevent infection, the patient is forced to lie down and the afflicted region is cleaned. The pathologist or lab technician may seek the assistance of a radiologist to carry out the operation under imaging if the lesion is in the abdominal region and they are unable to detect or feel the swelling there.
- A glass slide with the extracted material is spread on it, colored, and examined under a microscope to look for cell abnormalities.
- Typically, an ice pack is given to the patient after the test process to aid with pain relief.

FAQs
In addition to evaluating swellings for lymphoma, non-lymphoma, Hodgkin’s TB, Toxoplasmosis, granulomatous lymphadenitis, and other illnesses, fine needle aspiration cytology aids in the detection of breast cancer. It can also be utilized to look at cytological irregularities in patients. It can be used to evaluate lymph nodes, cysts, and other solid-body masses.
Although slightly less sensitive than CB, FNAC is still a useful approach. When FNAC sampling yields little information and there is a suspicion of a fibrotic and collagenous lesion, such as lobular carcinoma and radial scar, CB is the preferable approach for preoperative diagnosis.
The cost of the FNAC test in Mumbai ranges between Rs 400 to Rs 3000. However, depending on the setting and the lab partner you select, this could change.
