Our aim was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of serum concentrations of squamous-cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) in the follow-up of patients with vulvar cancer. We measured SCC-Ag and TPA in 480 serum samples of 82 patients with squamous-cell vulvar cancer. R
