Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (DHA Registration ID: 61713011), Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, says:
As a specialist in diagnostic radiology, I recognize the critical importance of thorough cytological evaluation. This comprehensive slide review offers a second layer of scrutiny, but it must always be integrated with clinical and radiological data for a conclusive diagnosis. Patients are advised to continue all prescribed treatments and consult their oncologist before making any changes based on this report.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is an FNAC Slide Review (24-30 Slides)?
A specialist cytopathologist re-examines 24-30 FNAC slides, delivering a reliable second opinion surpassing routine analysis. This advanced service is designed for patients who need a second look at previously obtained fine needle aspiration material, especially when a definitive cancer diagnosis is uncertain. The review focuses on subtle cytologic features, ensuring that no abnormal cells are overlooked.
2. How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically delivered within 3 working days, ensuring a thorough review and diagnostic accuracy. The extended turnaround time allows the cytopathologist to meticulously examine all 24-30 slides, document findings, and prepare a comprehensive report. Urgent cases may be prioritized upon request.
3. Is a doctor’s prescription required for this test?
A doctor’s prescription is mandatory, except for surgery, pregnancy, or travel-abroad cases where it is waived. This policy aligns with DHA guidelines – if you are scheduled for surgery, are pregnant, or are planning to travel outside the UAE, a prescription is not needed, but a clinical assessment remains essential to justify the review.
