Regarding the Licensed Recognition of FNA Mapping Technique
FNA Mapping was pioneered by Dr. Paul Turek and his colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
Kanto Clinic performs FNA Mapping under a training and licensing arrangement with The Turek Clinic in the United States.
The FNA Mapping technique requires specialized training in systematic testicular sampling and the identification and interpretation of sperm-containing areas. Dr. Kanto completed the training and assessment required by The Turek Clinic before being authorized under this arrangement to perform FNA Mapping.
For patients considering FNA Mapping, we encourage you to ask any medical provider about the specific training, protocol, and quality-assurance framework under which the procedure is performed.
