Uterine fibroids in the elderly generally do not cause high SCC (squamous epithelial cell carcinoma antigen) value, but very few of them may cause high SCC value after malignant degeneration, and there may be other reasons for high SCC value, such as cervical cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer and so on.
1. No: SCC is the antigen of squamous cell carcinoma, uterine fibroids are benign tumors formed by uterine smooth muscle tissues, and most of the cases will not cause squamous cell carcinoma, so they generally will not cause high SCC value.
2. There are rare cases that uterine fibroids will become cancerous, especially in postmenopausal women, the fibroids continue to increase in size and the SCC value is high, which suggests that uterine fibroids will become malignant.
In elderly people, high SCC value may not be related to uterine fibroids, but may be due to some other squamous cell carcinomas in the body, such as cervical cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer, and so on.
If you have a high SCC value, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and to carry out targeted treatment or therapy with the help of the doctor.
