Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses in various parts of the body. This minimally invasive technique involves using a thin, hollow needle to extract small amounts of tissue for examination under a microscope. At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive FNAC service, including the preparation of 6 slides, to ensure a thorough analysis. The cost of this test is 450 AED.
