What is fine needle aspiration biopsy?

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a non-surgical/ minimally invasive procedure by which a sample of tissue is obtained by placing a very fine gauge needle into the lump for a few seconds to draw out cells for examination under the microscope. The procedure is fast, convenient, safe and well-tolerated by patients. No anesthesia or hospitalization is required. Patients can return to work immediately after the FNA biopsy.

Can a fine needle aspiration spread cancer?

Highly unlikely as the needle gauge is very fine (smaller than the usual gauge used to give blood or vaccines). Moreover, the procedure is ultrasound-guided, targeting the exact area in question/concern.

The size of the needle is very fine. For thyroid biopsies, we usually use 27 gauge needles, for other sites we usually use 25 gauge needles.
