Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen levels were studied in 34 patients with primary (N = 27) or recurrent (N = 7) SCC of the vulva. In primary disease, the SCC antigen level was greater than 2.5 ng/ml in only four patients ( 15 %) . Elevated antigen levels ranged from 2.7-1 8 .O ng/ml . All of the
Background. The cytosolic content of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), CA 125, and CA 50 antigens in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is analyzed in this study. The aim was to ascertain the relationship between tumor marker content and the clinicopathologic aspects of
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between elevated serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen (SCCโAg) levels and shorter survival in cancer patients. Few studies, however, have investigated the role of serum SCCโAg levels in oral SCC (OSCC).
## Abstract ## Background. There is considerable interest in the expression of cancer testis (CT) antigens in human cancers, because they may serve as the basis for diagnostic tests or an immunologic approach to therapy, or as prognostic markers. ## Methods. On this basis, we evaluated by semiqu
