Squamous cell (cancer) antigen SCC 1.3 is usually normal.
SCC squamous cell carcinoma antigen, a glycoprotein with a normal value range of 0-1.5ug/L, can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic indicator and prognostic monitoring indicator for cervical cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer. Its concentration increases with the aggravation of the disease, and then decreases if the treatment is effective; and if it rises again in the course of monitoring, it often indicates recurrence and metastasis.
However, like other tumor markers, the sensitivity and specificity of SCC test are not 100%, and skin disease patients, smoking, inflammation, etc. can also lead to SCC elevation. Therefore, SCC should be retested when it is elevated.
Therefore, when SCC is found to be elevated, further systematic examination is needed to make a clear diagnosis and active treatment.
