Fine needle aspiration

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) uses a very thin, hollow needle attached to a syringe to take out a small amount of fluid and very small pieces of tissue from the tumour. The doctor can aim the needle while feeling the tumour, if it’s near the surface of the body. If the tumour is deeper inside the body and can’t be felt, the needle can be guided while being watched on an imaging test such as an ultrasound or CT scan. The main advantages of FNA are that the skin doesn’t have to be cut, and in some cases it’s possible to make a diagnosis the same day. The disadvantage is that sometimes this needle can’t remove enough tissue for a definite diagnosis¹⁰.
