What is a Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker Test in Guwahati ?
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?
Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker is generally requested as part of a cancer screening assessment. Doctors commonly investigate this area when someone 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. Whether Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker specifically is the right test depends on your history and what your doctor is looking for. GetVisit makes testing convenient in Guwahati, with partner-lab slots and home collection offered in many areas including Panbazar and Zoo Road.
How is Cyfra - 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 Panbazar and Zoo Road, Guwahati then barcodes and transports it under controlled conditions to the NABL lab.
How accurate is Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker?
Samples collected in Panbazar or Zoo Road, Guwahati are transported under the conditions the test requires and processed by the partner laboratory under its own quality-control procedures. Where a NABL-accredited laboratory is used, that accreditation applies to the laboratory and its defined scope of tests.
Are there any risks to Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker?
There are no significant risks beyond those of a standard blood draw. For your appointment in Panbazar or Zoo Road, Guwahati, drink 2 to 3 glasses of water beforehand and stay seated for 2 to 3 minutes afterwards, as vasovagal fainting (rare) is more likely if you are fasting, anxious, or dehydrated. Tell the phlebotomist if you have fainted during previous draws.
Did you know?
CYFRA 21‑1 is a blood tumor marker made of soluble fragments of cytokeratin 19 released from dying epithelial tumor cells.
Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker Test Preparation in Guwahati
Fasting and diet:
You do not need to fast. Have your normal meals, but skip a heavy, oily meal and alcohol the evening before as a general precaution.

Medication:
Unless your physician advises a change, keep taking your usual prescriptions as normal.
Timing and slots:

Why Take a Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker Test in Guwahati ?
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 Guwahati?
Guwahati's long monsoon with recurrent urban flooding, regional hepatitis burden, widespread vitamin D deficiency from prolonged cloud cover, rising diabetes, and role as the Northeast's medical hub make regular preventive testing worthwhile. 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 Guwahati, GetVisit supports timely testing for residents of Panbazar, Zoo Road, 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 your Cyfra - Lung Cancer Marker results are ready?
After the lab authorises your results, the report is uploaded to your GetVisit account and saved for future comparison. If anything falls outside the expected range, your doctor can advise whether it needs a repeat test, a lifestyle change, or a specialist opinion.
