What are the Advantages of Fine Needle Aspiration?
FNA offers several advantages:
Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves a small needle and is less invasive compared to surgical biopsies. Quick: The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can often return to normal activities immediately afterward. Cost-Effective: FNA is generally less expensive than other types of biopsy. Safe: The risk of complications is low, with minor bleeding or bruising being the most common side effects.
