During the FNAC Test, a healthcare professional inserts a thin needle into the lump or tissue guided by palpation or imaging techniques like ultrasound or CT scan.
The needle is moved back and forth to obtain cell samples, which are collected onto glass slides or in a liquid medium.
The collected cells are then prepared and examined by a pathologist under a microscope to assess their characteristics, such as cell type, presence of abnormal cells, and other features that aid in making a diagnosis.
