Abstract

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy and is a major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Oral cancer is the most predominant malignancy in the Indian subcontinent due to the widespread habits of chewing tobacco and related products. Patients with oral tumours have a high risk of early locoregional relapse. Early detection of disease progression remains a challenging task mainly due to the lack of adequate early prognostic markers. CEA, SCC Ag, CA-125, serum cytokeratin (CK) fragments, Cyfra 21-1 (CK 19), TPS (CK 18), TPA (CK 8, 18, and 19) etc. are being used as serum markers for the prediction of prognosis of various malignancies. This review presents the available literature on serum CK markers in different malignancies evaluates their utility in the management of oral cancer, and identifies the lacunae which need to be addressed to develop sensitive and specific assays for early detection of recurrence, prognosis, and treatment monitoring.
