The SCC value of 2.40 μg/L after surgery for cervical cancer is slightly higher than the normal value, which is an abnormal value.
Squamous epithelial correlation antigen (SCC) is one of the indicators for the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer of squamous epithelial cell origin, especially cervical cancer, with a normal value of less than 1.50 μg/L.
If SCC is slightly higher than normal after cervical cancer surgery, it may be related to various factors such as metabolic abnormality, inflammation and infection, tumor recurrence, etc., and the reference significance is relatively small; if the SCC is elevated more than one times of the normal value or if the SCC is persistently elevated, there is a higher probability of cervical cancer recurrence.
However, independent SCC elevation is not an absolute indicator for diagnosing the recurrence of cervical cancer, and needs to be combined with imaging and pathological biopsy results for comprehensive diagnosis.
If SCC is high after cervical cancer surgery, one should pay high attention to it and go to regular hospitals in time to have a comprehensive examination, clarify the cause and have targeted treatment to avoid delay of the condition.
