A biopsy involves removing a small piece of tissue for detailed examination, often requiring a minor surgical procedure, while FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) uses a thin needle to collect cells from a lump or lesion. FNAC is faster and less invasive, making it a useful first step in evaluating many masses.

Routine biopsy results typically take 3–7 working days, depending on the complexity of the specimen and any additional staining or testing required. Our histopathologists ensure each sample receives thorough evaluation to maintain diagnostic accuracy.

A frozen section is a rapid tissue examination performed during surgery, allowing the surgeon to receive preliminary results within minutes. It’s commonly used to guide decisions such as determining tumor margins or confirming whether a lesion is malignant while the patient is still on the operating table.

FNAC is a minimally invasive procedure that typically causes only mild, brief discomfort, similar to a routine injection. Local anesthesia is usually not required, though it may be used for larger or deeper lesions if needed for patient comfort.

Yes, histopathology is considered the gold standard for cancer diagnosis. By examining tissue and cell samples under a microscope, our pathologists can identify whether a lesion is benign or malignant and provide detailed information to guide treatment planning.
