Abstract
Objective To establish a reference intervals(RIs)of serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC-Ag)in healthy population in Nanning region and provide clinical evidence to support diagnosis and prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 10 197 reference individuals who joined a routine physical examina-tion in the Health Management Center of Guangxi International Zhuang Medical Hospital from March 2019 to De-cember 2021 were collected.The level of serum SCC-Ag was detected by chemiluminescence microparticle immuno-assay.The Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare the differences in serum SCC level between genders or ad-jacent age groups.The unilateral 95th percentile determined the upper limit of the RIs by the nonparametric method.Another 1 035 healthy subjects with the same conditions as the reference population were selected for refer-ence validation.Results The serum SCC-Ag level showed a skewed distribution(Z=0.08,P<0.05).The ser-um SCC-Ag level of males was considerably higher than that of females.There was significant difference in serum SCC-Ag level between males aged 18-30 and 31-40,51-60 and 61-90(P<0.05).There was significant difference in serum SCC-Ag level between females aged 18-30 and 31-40,31-40 and 41-50,51-60 and 61- 90(P<0.05).The reference intervals of serum SCC-Ag was as follows:0-1.64 ng/mL for males and females aged 18-30 years;0-1.57 ng/mL and 0-1.70 ng/mL for males aged 31-60 years and 61-90 years,respec-tively;0-1.50 ng/mL,0-1.52 ng/mL and 0-1.42 ng/mL for females aged 31-40 years,41-60 years and 61-90 years,respectively.Conclusions The RIs of serum SCC-Ag in healthy population in the Nanning region are successfully established according to different genders and ages.
