Results for tag: "Fine Needle Aspiration"

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to collect tissue samples from a patient for diagnostic purposes. It is commonly used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including cancer, thyroid disorders, and cysts. The procedure involves inserting a thin needle into the affected area and using suction to draw out a sample of cells. The sample is then examined under a microscope to determine the cause of the condition. FNA is a cost-effective and safe alternative to more invasive surgical procedures, such as biopsies. It is also less time-consuming and can be performed in an outpatient setting. The procedure is typically performed by a trained healthcare professional, such as a radiologist or pathologist. The FNA market is a growing segment of the surgical procedures market. It is expected to benefit from the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, and the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some companies in the FNA market include Becton Dickinson, Cook Medical, and Olympus Corporation. Show Less Read more
