Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB, FNA or NAB), or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses. In this technique, a thin, hollow needle is inserted into the mass for sampling of cells that, after being stained, will be examined under a microscope.
Looking directly at a piece of a tumor under a microscope allows for a conclusive diagnosis of cancer. To gather that piece of tumor, a biopsy is performed. Your doctor may use any of the following biopsy methods, depending on your unique situation. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) FNA is the most common biopsy procedure due to its safety and the reliability of its results. There are two ways to perform an FNA biopsy of the pancreas, either through the skin (percutaneously) or Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided. When the percutaneous approach is used, a local anesthetic is applied to the skin and a long thin needle is inserted through the abdominal wall and into the pancreas.
