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

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 Mumbai, you can book this test online with home collection available in Vashi, Worli, and beyond.

How is CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) performed?

You can have the sample for CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) taken at home in Vashi or Worli, Mumbai, or at a partner lab. The phlebotomist draws a small amount of blood, applies a cotton swab with light pressure, and dispatches the sample to the NABL-accredited lab the same day.

How accurate is CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?

Every GetVisit sample from Vashi, Worli, and across Mumbai is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.

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

A blood draw for CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) is very safe. Occasionally there is minor bruising or light-headedness; sitting for a couple of minutes afterwards at the Vashi or Worli, Mumbai collection point usually prevents this.

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 Mumbai

Fasting and diet:

Eat and drink as you normally would; fasting is not required. Try to avoid a very fatty meal or alcohol right before the appointment.

Medication:

Tell the collection staff about any prescription medicines, supplements, or herbal products you're using, and keep taking them unless advised otherwise.

What to bring:

Have your doctor's referral and photo ID ready; earlier reports for the same test are useful for tracking trends.

Timing and slots:

Morning appointments suit most tests, when the body's markers are most stable. GetVisit home collection in Mumbai starts at 6:00 AM, including Ghatkopar and Worli.

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

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 Mumbai?

Mumbai's 21 million metropolitan population, annual monsoon flooding creating severe leptospirosis and dengue risk in Kurla, Andheri, and Ghatkopar, high corporate stress and commute burden, significant diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevalence, and a massive working population with irregular meal and sleep patterns make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential health investment for all residents. Cancer-marker testing benefits people with a strong family history, relevant risk factors, or symptoms warranting evaluation, and patients monitoring treatment response or recurrence. In Mumbai, GetVisit supports timely testing for residents of Andheri, Vikhroli, and across the city, always alongside specialist review.

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 take my diabetes medication before CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker)?plus

If you take insulin or diabetes tablets and are fasting for CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker), ask your doctor whether to delay the dose until after the sample is collected, to avoid a low-sugar episode.

Can menstruation affect CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker) results?plus

Some tests, such as iron studies and certain hormone panels, can be influenced by your menstrual cycle. If you are on your period, mention it so your doctor can judge whether timing matters for CYFRA 21 (Lung Cancer Marker).
