About FNA<\/h2>\n

Meagan\u2019s Story<\/h4>\n

Meagan developed a tumor in her neck when she was just 17. An endocrinologist took a tissue sample from her thyroid using a long needle. The doctor explained the tumor could be benign or cancerous. This set the stage for a very anxious week.<\/p>\n

Several days later she got a call from her physician who said the sample was inadequate — they would need to repeat the process. Unfortunately, more than 20% of the patients undergoing Fine Need Aspiration (FNA) biopsies need to have the procedure repeated.<\/p>\n

It took weeks to reschedule. Meagan had to live with the tumor for over a month before she was told, \u201cMeagan, you have cancer.\u201d No one was happy with the diagnosis or the process.<\/p>\n

Meagan had her thyroid removed and is doing fine now. She takes thyroid medication daily and enjoys a normal life. Please scroll down to Meagan\u2019s quote, which captures the perspective of countless people who have undergone FNA procedures.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

FNA (Fine Needle Aspiration) Procedure<\/h4>\n

FNA is a type of biopsy procedure that extracts a tissue sample from a tumor, which is then sent to Pathology for evaluation. FNA evaluations can help diagnose or rule out cancer. It is most commonly used for lumps in the thyroid, lungs, pancreas, breasts and lymph nodes. Depending on the tumor, up to 32% of FNAs must be repeated due to insufficient samples.

About ROSE<\/h2>\n

ROSE Procedure (Rapid On-Site Evaluation)<\/h4>\n

The ROSE procedure evaluates the tissue sample acquired through FNA to quickly determine if a sufficient sample has been obtained. The sample is then sent to Pathology for evaluation. Depending on the tumor, ROSE can reduce repeat biopsy rates up to 70%.
