    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a widely used diagnostic technique.
    • FNAC offers a minimally invasive approach for disease site diagnosis.
    • Its application in tumor management is crucial for clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the FNAC technique.
    • To illustrate its application in the management of various body tumors.
    • To highlight the clinical and economic benefits of FNAC.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of the fine needle aspiration cytology procedure.
    • Illustrative examples of FNAC application in diverse tumor sites.
    • Discussion of the method's limitations and potential pitfalls.

    Main Results:

    • FNAC is an inexpensive and atraumatic diagnostic method.
    • The technique aids in rational surgical planning and avoids inappropriate interventions.
    • Potential for false positive and false negative diagnoses requires careful consideration.

    Conclusions:

    • FNAC is a valuable tool in clinical practice, offering significant patient benefits.
    • The method contributes to cost-effectiveness in healthcare by reducing unnecessary procedures.
    • Greater recognition of FNAC's utility in tumor diagnosis and management is warranted.
