CK 7 Price in Bangladesh

What is CK 7?

CK 7 (Cytokeratin 7) is a protein commonly expressed in the epithelial cells of various organs, including the lungs, breasts, ovaries, and endometrial cells. It is used as a tumor marker in the diagnosis and classification of different types of carcinomas.

The CK 7 test is often employed in immunohistochemistry to help identify the origin of metastatic tumors when the primary tumor site is unclear. For example, CK 7 is typically positive in lung adenocarcinomas, breast cancers, and ovarian carcinomas, while it is usually negative in colorectal cancer.

This test helps differentiate between different cancer types and determine the primary source of metastatic cancer.

What to expect & how to prepare

CK 7 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your CK 7 result rather than self-diagnosing.
