What is a Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker Test in Thane ?
What is Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker?
The Cyfra test measures a protein fragment called CYFRA 21-1 that is released into the blood when certain lung cells break down. Cytokeratin fragments like CYFRA are parts of the structural proteins inside epithelial cells.
What does Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker measure?
Higher blood levels can indicate the presence or progression of lung cancer, especially non-small cell and squamous cell types. The test is not definitive by itself. Doctors use it alongside imaging, biopsy, and other tests. It is most useful for monitoring treatment response and for detecting cancer recurrence.
What symptoms suggest Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Cyfra - 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. Sample collection for Thane is available at labs and at home across Vasant Vihar, Majiwada, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker performed?
You can have the sample for Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker taken at home in Vasant Vihar or Majiwada, Thane, 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 - Lung Cancer Marker?
Results are analytically reliable because GetVisit's Thane logistics network maintains proper cold-chain transport from your Vasant Vihar or Majiwada collection point to the processing lab, preserving sample integrity. NABL independently audits quality control at regular intervals.
Are there any risks to Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker?
There is little to worry about. The needle prick lasts a moment and any bruising fades quickly. If you bruise easily or take blood thinners, tell the phlebotomist in Vasant Vihar or Majiwada, Thane so they can apply pressure for longer.
Did you know?
CYFRA 21‑1 is a blood tumor marker made of soluble fragments of cytokeratin 19 released from dying epithelial tumor cells.

Why Take a Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker Test in Thane ?
When does a doctor order Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker?
Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker is often part of a tumor marker panel used when lung cancer is suspected or known. Doctors may order it for symptoms such as persistent cough, blood in sputum, unexplained weight loss, or increasing breathlessness.
Who should get Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker done in Thane?
Thane's fast-growing population, monsoon flooding driving leptospirosis and dengue in Mumbra, Kalwa, and Diva, heavy commute and stress burden, and rising diabetes and cardiovascular rates make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential health investment for residents across the city. 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 Thane, GetVisit supports timely testing for residents of Vasant Vihar, Vartak Nagar, and across the city, always alongside specialist review.
What conditions can Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker help diagnose?
It helps detect and monitor non-small cell and squamous cell lung cancers, assess treatment response, and watch for recurrence. Elevated levels can result from cancer, smoking, infections, or inflammation, and a family history of lung cancer may make testing more relevant.
What do Cyfra - 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 - 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 - Lung Cancer Marker results are ready?
Your GetVisit digital report is delivered to your phone as soon as results are authorised. Share it directly with your doctor via the app, or book a consultation with a GetVisit-verified specialist on the same platform. Critical values outside a safe range are flagged by the laboratory for urgent clinical review.
