Inflammatory diseases may cause SCC elevation, such as cervicitis, esophagitis, bronchitis and other chronic inflammatory diseases, which sometimes may cause mild SCC elevation. If a mild elevation of SCC is found during physical examination, but no obvious masses are found in the body by ultrasound or CT examination, there is no need to worry too much at this time, and it should not be cancer-induced SCC elevation. However, you should not rely solely on SCC elevation to diagnose cancer. SCC is mainly used to monitor the effect of tumor treatment, recurrence, metastasis or to evaluate the prognosis after cancer diagnosis. If the SCC is significantly higher than normal, and after anti-tumor treatment, the SCC decreases significantly, it means that the treatment effect is good and the tumor in the body is under control.
