CYFRA 21-1 Test (Lung Cancer Marker)

The CYFRA 21-1 Test is a medical laboratory test used to measure the levels of a protein called CYFRA 21-1 in the blood. This test is primarily used to aid in the diagnosis and management of lung cancer.

• CYFRA 21-1 is a protein that is found to be elevated in the blood of some people with lung cancer. The CYFRA 21-1 Test is a simple blood test that is typically ordered when there is suspicion of lung cancer, either because the patient is experiencing symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath or chest pain, or because an imaging test has shown a suspicious lung mass.
• Elevated levels of CYFRA 21-1 in the blood can indicate lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer. The CYFRA 21-1 Test is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and to detect any recurrence of lung cancer.
