A procedure in which a physician or pathologist collects cells from a body organ by placing a very small (fine) needle into the area and aspirating or removing the cells; similar to drawing blood but with a smaller needle.
See THYROID FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION
A way of getting a sample of cells to look at under a microscope. The doctor uses a fine needle to draw up the cells into a syringe.
(FNA): Removal of fluid or suspension of cells through a small needle
Procedure in which a surgeon uses a needle and syringe to remove cells from tissue to determine whether cancer cells are present
In this procedure, a thin needle is used to draw up (aspirate) samples for examination under a microscope. FNA is sometimes used to determine if prostate cancer has spread to lymph nodes inside the pelvis.
A type of thyroid biopsy using a very thin needle
see Needle biopsy.
A biopsy obtained using a small needle to aspirate, or suck out, fluid or small clusters of tissue cells. The needle used is smaller than that used to draw blood. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes and can be performed in a doctor's office.
Removal of tissue or fluid from a lump or a cyst with a thin needle and a syringe. ( See also needle aspiration).
Removing small samples of tissue, usually while under a local anesthetic, through a fine needle.
A form of biopsy in which groups of cells are obtained by means of a fine needle.
a type of biopsy that removes fluid and/or a few cells from the tissue to determine if there are cancer cells present. No tissue is removed with this test.
Using a thin needle to take a small sample of tissue from the body for microscopic examination
The use of a very thin needle to take a biopsy. Usually a nearly painless event.
Collection of a fluid or tissue sample by insertion of a fine gauge needle into the tissue and applying suction.
The removal of tissue or fluid with a needle for examination under a microscope. Also called a needle biopsy. Back to the Top
the use of a thin, hollow needle to withdraw tissue from the body. In the case of suspected prostate cancer it may be used in conjunction with transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUS/P).
After local anesthesia has been administered, a small diameter needle is inserted through the skin to obtain a small sample of tissue for evaluation.
The use of a thin needle to withdraw material from the body. For example, this method is commonly used to determine whether a nodule in the thyroid gland is benign or malignant. A fine gauge needle is placed into the nodule and a drop of blood is withdrawn. The cells are studied under the microscope by an pathologist. See the entire definition of Fine needle aspiration
a procedure in which a fine needle is used to withdraw a few cells from a tumour for biopsy.
Procedure that removes a sample of fluid and/or cells from a breast lump by means of a fine needle and syringe.
Type of biopsy where a very thin needle is put into a breast lump and a sample of fluid and cells sucked out. The cells are looked at under a microscope to see if they are cancerous.
The use of a fine needle under local anaesthetic to take a sample of cells from a suspicious lump to determine whether it is benign or malignant.
The use of a slender needle to remove fluid from a cyst or clusters of cells from a solid lump.
A biopsy that uses a fine needle to remove fluid from a cyst or a cluster of cells from a solid lump.
a type of biopsy in which cells are removed using a needle and syringe. The cells are studied under a microscope to see if cancer is present.
A type of biopsy in which a small needle is inserted through the skin to the site of an abnormal growth to collect and remove a sample of cells for analysis.
In this procedure, a thin needle is used to draw up (aspirate) samples for examination under a microscope. Also called FNA. See also, biopsy.
