How much do NIPT tests cost?

The cost of NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) typically ranges from ₹10,000 to ₹40,000 in India, depending on the testing facility and the type of screening.

Does NIPT confirm pregnancy?

No, NIPT does not confirm pregnancy but it definitely gives an idea. It is used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus after pregnancy is already confirmed. It helps detect conditions like Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome in early pregnancy.

Is NIPT 100% accurate?

NIPT is highly accurate, with a detection rate of over 99% for certain chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome. So, Diagnostic testing like amniocentesis may be recommended for confirmation.

What happens if NIPT is positive?

If NIPT results are positive, indicating a potential chromosomal abnormality, further diagnostic testing such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is typically recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Jaipur Molecular Lab will guide you on the possible solutions further.

Cancer Incidence in India

In 2022, the estimated number of cancer cases in India was 1,461,427,which increased to 1,496,972 in 2023.

In India, 1 in 9 people are likely to develop cancer in their lifetime. Lung cancer is the leading cancer among males, while breast cancer is the most common among females

Understanding Cancer

Cancer occurs when the body's cells grow uncontrollably, often leading to tumors. Unlike normal cell division, cancer cells lose the control mechanisms, forming tumors that can be:

• Benign: Non-cancerous and generally non-invasive.

• Malignant: Cancerous, with the potential to spread to other organs.

Cancer in India: A Health Priority

Cancer affects millions in India, and statistics highlight the pressing need for early detection and intervention:

1. New Cases:

Over 1.46 million each year

2. Lifetime Risk:

1 in 9 Indians will develop cancer.

3. Most Common Cancers:

Men: Lung cancer

Women: Breast cancer

Children: Lymphoid leukemia

4. Future Outlook:

Cases projected to rise by 12.8% by 2025.

What Are Solid Tumors?

Solid tumors are abnormal tissue masses that typically lack liquid or cystic components. These tumors may be:

Carcinomas: Originate from epithelial cells (e.g., lung, breast, colon).

Sarcomas: Originate from connective tissues (e.g., bone, muscle).

Lymphomas: Originate from the lymphatic system.

Note: Leukemia, a blood cancer, does not form solid tumors.
