摘要
Background/Aim: Tumor-related and inflammation-related markers were reported to be prognostic in cancer patients. In this study, we evaluated squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and C-reactive protein (CRP) simultaneously in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Patients and Methods: Two hundred and forty-six newly diagnosed OSCC patients were retrospectively recruited between December 2010 and December 2016. Results: The elevation of CRP levels (≥5.0 mg/l) and SCC-Ag levels (≥2.0 ng/ml) were significantly related with tumor invasion parameters and metastatic factors. In contrast, the elevation of CYFRA 21-1 levels (≥3.3 ng/ml) was related with extranodal extension alone.
