Why Have It?

Fine needle aspiration biopsy is usually done with the use of a guided ultrasound. One benefit of the test is that it may involve only a little discomfort. The doctor will guide you on what to do before the test.

The test may be utilized for the following

  • Thyroid problems
  • Breast cancer diagnosis

In some cases, HMO companies may also cover specific types of diagnostic tests. However, this is not usually the case since most of the coverage includes but is not limited to professional fees, room and board and other medical procedures.

Results Availability

Depending on the hospital, the fnab result may be available starting from 2 days to two weeks. It is best to inquire from the staff about the release date of the results. The results can then be submitted to the doctor for further evaluation.
