Aim: 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 CA 125) 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.Material and Methods: 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 sct.To evaluate the correlations between pretreatment tumor markers and postsurgical high-risk factors, the x2-test and logistic regression analysis were used for univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively.Results: Multivariate analysis with receiver-operator curves showed that the combination of SCCantigen, 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 markers had postsurgical high-risk factors.Similar results were obtained with the test set.Conclusions: Preoperative levels of SCC-antigen, CEA, and CA 19-9 are useful for predicting the status of postsurgical high-risk factors in women with SCC of the uterine cervix who undergo radical hysterectomy.
