How the puncture is performed
The puncture is performed with a very thin needle, with minimum discomfort for the patient, and the aspirated material is smeared on slides and then transmitted to the Pathological Anatomy of the Hospital of Cattinara for diagnostic evaluation.
The procedure has a very high reliability and allows precise understanding of the nature of the various nodules investigated and then to set their possible treatment.

Aspirations are performed by Dr. F. Stacul supported by Dr. G.B. Bellis, with thirty years of experience in this activity.
