What is a CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) Test in Delhi ?

What is CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?

The CYFRA 21 test measures CYFRA 21-1, a fragment of cytokeratin 19 released into the blood when certain cells break down. Cytokeratins are structural proteins found in epithelial cells, including those lining the lungs.

What does CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) measure?

Elevated levels can indicate damage from cancer or other lung diseases. The test is most useful in lung cancers, especially non-small cell and squamous cell types. Doctors use it to help diagnose suspected cancer, establish a baseline before treatment, monitor how well therapy is working, and check for recurrence. Results are interpreted with imaging, symptoms, and other tests because some non-cancer conditions can also raise levels.

What symptoms suggest CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) may be needed?

A doctor may recommend CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) when a patient reports unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, a lump under the skin, changes in bowel or bladder habits, unexplained pain, abnormal bleeding, persistent cough, or difficulty swallowing. In Delhi, you can book this test online with home collection available in South Extension, Janakpuri, and beyond.

How is CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) performed?

Collection is a routine blood draw. Using a single-use sterile needle, the phlebotomist takes a small sample from a vein in your arm; GetVisit's team in South Extension and Janakpuri, Delhi then barcodes and transports it under controlled conditions to the NABL lab.

How accurate is CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?

Results are analytically reliable because GetVisit's Delhi logistics network maintains proper cold-chain transport from your South Extension or Janakpuri collection point to the processing lab, preserving sample integrity. NABL independently audits quality control at regular intervals.

Are there any risks to CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?

Risks are minimal. Some people notice a small bruise or brief soreness at the needle site, which settles within a day or two. Serious problems such as infection are very rare when sterile, single-use equipment is used, as it is at every GetVisit collection in South Extension and Janakpuri, Delhi.

Did you know?

CYFRA 21-1 is a tumor marker , a fragment of cytokeratin 19 , often elevated in non–small cell lung cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma.

CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) Test Preparation in Delhi

Diet and fasting:

This test can be done at any time of day with no fasting. Keep to your usual meals and medicines, and drink water normally.

What to carry:

Bring your doctor's prescription, a valid photo ID, and your insurance card if you're using cashless OPD. Loose sleeves make collection easier.

Medication guidance:

Unless your physician advises a change, keep taking your usual prescriptions as normal.

When to book:

An early slot works best, especially for fasting tests. Home collection is available across Preet Vihar, Karol Bagh, and the rest of Delhi.

CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) Test Parameters in Delhi

Single standalone test:

CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker). Can be ordered individually or as part of a preventive health package on GetVisit.

Why Take a CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) Test in Delhi ?

When does a doctor order CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?

CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) is included in lung tumor marker panels alongside CEA and SCC antigen. Doctors may order it for persistent cough, breathlessness, coughing blood, or unexplained weight loss.

Who should get CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) done in Delhi?

Delhi's 30+ million population, India's most severe urban air pollution, one of the country's highest combined diabetes and cardiovascular disease burdens, extreme seasonal temperature range (from 3°C in January to 48°C in May), and monsoon infection risk across Dwarka, Rohini, Shahdara, and Uttam Nagar make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential part of health management for all city residents. Those who benefit most from CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) include higher-risk individuals in structured screening and patients already diagnosed who need trend monitoring. Results in Delhi should always be interpreted by an oncologist rather than in isolation.

What conditions can CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) help diagnose?

It aids diagnosis and monitoring of non-small cell lung cancer, especially squamous type, and checks treatment response or recurrence. Elevated levels can result from cancer, smoking, inflammation, or organ dysfunction, and family history may prompt testing.

What do CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) results mean?

Your result is read against the reference range printed on your GetVisit report for your age and sex, and always alongside your symptoms and history. A single value slightly outside the range does not by itself confirm a problem, your doctor decides whether it is significant. The specific high and low patterns for this test are explained in the FAQs below.

How often should CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) be repeated?

For screening in higher-risk individuals: at the interval recommended for that specific cancer. For patients under treatment or in remission: on the schedule set by the oncologist, often every few months, to track the marker's trend rather than any single value.

What happens after CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) results are ready?

Book a follow-up consultation after reviewing your results. GetVisit stores your reports alongside your previous test history, so your doctor sees your full health trend, not just today's snapshot. This longitudinal context significantly improves the clinical value of each repeat test.

Frequently asked questions

Is CYFRA 21-1 a cancer marker?plus

CYFRA 21-1 is a tumor marker , a fragment of cytokeratin 19 , often elevated in non–small cell lung cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma. It helps assess prognosis and monitor treatment response but is not definitive for diagnosis or screening. Levels can also rise with benign lung diseases, liver or kidney dysfunction, and other cancers, so results require clinical and imaging correlation.

What is the marker CA125 for lung cancer?plus

CA125 (cancer antigen 125) is a blood tumor marker primarily associated with ovarian cancer but can be elevated in some lung cancers, especially adenocarcinomas and those with pleural involvement. It is non‑specific, levels can rise in benign conditions, and is not used for screening or definitive diagnosis. In lung cancer, CA125 may reflect advanced disease or pleural spread and can help monitor treatment response.

How accurate is CYFRA 21-1?plus

CYFRA 21-1 has moderate diagnostic accuracy: sensitivity roughly 40–70% (higher in squamous‑cell lung cancer) and specificity often 80–90%. It’s more useful for prognosis and monitoring treatment or recurrence than as a screening or standalone diagnostic test. Levels can also rise in benign lung disease and smokers, so results require correlation with clinical assessment and imaging.

What is the marker for lung cancer?plus

There is no single definitive marker for lung cancer. Blood tumor markers commonly used are CEA, CYFRA 21‑1, NSE and SCC antigen for detection and monitoring. Molecular markers (EGFR mutations, ALK/ROS1 rearrangements and PD‑L1 expression) guide prognosis and targeted therapy. Imaging and tissue biopsy remain necessary for diagnosis and confirmation.

Can I drink coffee or tea before CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?plus

If CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) needs fasting, avoid tea and coffee (even without sugar) during the fasting window, as they can affect some results; plain water is fine. If no fasting is required, your usual drinks are okay.

Do I need a doctor's prescription to book CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?plus

You can book CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) on GetVisit with or without a prescription, though a doctor's advice helps with interpreting the result. Cashless OPD may require a referral, depending on your insurer.
