Thyroid FNA

Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is a medical procedure used to examine nodules or lumps in the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck. During this minimally invasive test, a thin needle is inserted into the nodule to collect a small sample of tissue or fluid. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. This procedure helps doctors determine whether the nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), guiding further treatment if necessary. FNA is generally safe, quick, and can provide valuable information without the need for surgery.
