Abstract

We examined the correlations between the pretreatment values of four tumor markers (squamous cell carcinoma [SCC]-antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA], carbohydrate antigen [CA]19-9, and CA125) and postsurgical high-risk factors (parametrial involvement and positive pelvic lymph nodes) in women with SCC of the uterine cervix who had International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics clinical stage IB and IIA disease and underwent radical hysterectomy. In this retrospective study, we reviewed 291 patients between April 1989 and December 2008. The first 200 subjects, studied between 1989 and 2001, served as the training set, and another 91 subjects, studied between 2002 and 2008, comprised the test set. To evaluate the correlations between pretreatment tumor markers and postsurgical high-risk factors, the χ²-test and logistic regression analysis were used for univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively. Multivariate analysis with receiver-operator curves showed that the combination of SCC-antigen, CEA, and CA19-9 strongly predicted postsurgical high-risk factors. Analysis of the training set showed that 66.7% (95% confidence interval, 52.6-84.8%) of patients who tested positive for at least two of these three tumor m...Continue Reading
