Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A meticulous review of these slides is essential to differentiate reactive from neoplastic processes. While our laboratory delivers precise cytopathological data, clinical correlation with imaging and history remains indispensable. I urge patients to discuss all results within their multidisciplinary oncology team.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology (DHA Registration ID: 61713011)
⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without explicit consultation with your treating physician. The FNAC slide review is a diagnostic aid and does not replace ongoing therapeutic management.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Known bleeding diathesis or current anticoagulant therapy (contraindication for repeat aspiration if new specimen required).
- Active infection at the original aspiration site.
- Pregnancy – specialist oncology referral required; this test is not suitable for surgical clearance or travel planning.
- A valid doctor’s prescription is mandatory; the test is not intended for screening minors without appropriate guardianship consent in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
- Emergency signs: sudden severe pain, rapid swelling, shortness of breath, or high fever post-aspiration – seek immediate medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the FNAC slide review process and why do I need 30–35 slides?
A thorough cytological assessment from 30–35 slides ensures comprehensive sampling of the lesion and improves diagnostic accuracy. The review evaluates cellular morphology, architecture, and immunostaining patterns to confirm or exclude malignancy.
2. How do you ensure accurate results and privacy under UAE law?
Our laboratory adheres to Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL) and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 Concerning the Use of Information and Communication Technology in Health Fields.

Yes, direct billing to major UAE insurers is verified via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Results are delivered within 3 working days from slide reception at our Dubai Healthcare City laboratory.
4. What are the risks associated with FNAC slide review?
As this is a retrospective review of already collected slides, there are no direct procedural risks. However, if repeat aspiration is required, the procedure carries minimal risks of bleeding, infection, or pneumothorax (for deep lesions) which are mitigated by sterile technique and imaging guidance.
