Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core biopsy are both methods used for tissue sampling.
FNAC involves using a thin needle to extract cells from a suspicious area, while core biopsy obtains a larger tissue sample with a thicker needle.
FNAC is often used for the initial evaluation of lumps or nodules, whereas core biopsy provides a more detailed analysis of tissue architecture, which is particularly useful for diagnosing cancers like breast or prostate. Despite their differences, both procedures play crucial roles in diagnosing cancer and guiding treatment decisions.
