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

The serum level of tumor-antigen 4 (TA-4) was measured in 401 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of various organs (76 lung, 82 esophagus, and 234 head and neck). The mean serum level of TA-4 in patients with lung SCC was 3.6 times higher than that in healthy controls and even higher in the
BACKGROUND. The use of new prognostic factors as guidelines for the indication of treatment ancillary to surgery has been advocated for patients with nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). This article is an analysis of the prognostic information derived from determination of tumor-tissue cytosolic c
