AbstractSerum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) was raised in 62% of 308 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix before treatment. Post- treatment SCC levels were raised in 69 patients (22.4%). Retrospective review showed that persistently raised SCC level after treatment was significantly associated with persistent or recurrent disease in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The specificity of persistently raised SCC level in association with recurrent disease was 98.2%. The sensitivity in association with recurrent disease was 74.7%. The positive predictive values was 94.2%. The median lead time for recurrence was 4 months. SCC was raised in 38% of patients with clinical evidence of disease in the vagina. One patient had raised SCC one month prior to clinical detection of vaginal metastasis and was salvaged by an exenterative procedure. SCC was raised in 71-91% of patients with metastatic disease in the lung, lymph nodes or other distant sites. Thus, persistently raised SCC level after treatment of squamous cell carcinoma should alert the clinician to look for recurrent disease especially in distant metastatic sites. Post-treatment raised SCC level was associated with less than 5% 5-year survival rate whereas in patients with normal SCC level, the 5-year survival rate was 87%.
