Why Fine Needle Biopsy?
Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNA) is a less invasive method of providing an accurate and useful diagnosis to the referring physician while minimizing the anxiety, pain, risk and expense for the patient. The biopsy results will allow the physician to efficiently plan appropriate follow-up care.
What Can Be Sampled?
Virtually any palpable, superficial on head and neck mass can be sampled.
Diagnostic Yield
Maintains Patient / Physician Contact
Results are communicated to the referring physician, and the patients will continue follow-up with that physician.
Low Risk
The usual risks for the patient using FNA are minimal tenderness, swelling and bruising of the sampled area.
Low Cost
FNA at DCL can save up to 80% compared surgical biopsy and 50% compared to FNA performed as an inpatient procedure.
Faster Turnaround Time
Preliminary reports are generally available at the time of biopsy. Diagnostic reports are available within 2 working days.
Outpatient Procedure
FNA Procurement takes only 10 to 15 minutes.
No Pretesting Required
Minimal Discomfort
Body site is numbed with local anesthetic, lidocaine.
Less Patient Anxiety
Patients reluctant to have a surgical biopsy may consent to FNA, which may be a sensible option as opposed to the “wait and see” approach.
