Abstract:
MEIA method was applied to determine the change of serum cancer antigene level of scale cell cancer (SCC) in 32 healthy control subjects, 32 patients with cervical fibrous tumor, 78 patients of cervical cancer prior and post-radiation in Ha Noi K Hospital. Results: resum level of SCC enhanced by > 2-10 mcg/L in 63.8% cervical cancer patients, > 10 mcg/L did not determined in patient of cervical fibrous tumor; in cervical cancer, SCC serum level higher obviously than cervical fibrous tumor patients (10.6523.31 mcg/L versus 0.710.64 mcg/L with p<0.001). After irradiation, serum SCC level decreased obviously (10.6523.31 mcg/L versus 1.742.35 mcg/L with p<0.001). Serum SCC can be used for differenciating cervical cancer and cervical fibrous tumor and monitoring the response to the irradiation on patients with cervix scale cell cancer
