Relationships between squamous cell carcinoma antigen and cytokeratin 19 fragment values and renal function in oral cancer patients

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Relationships between squamous cell carcinoma antigen and cytokeratin 19 fragment values and renal function in oral cancer patients via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA) are used to screen and monitor oral cancer patients. However, recent studies have reported that tumour markers become elevated as renal function decreases, regardless of tumour progression. A retrospective study was performed of 423 oral cancer patients who underwent blood testing for these tumour markers and other blood analytes during a 10-year period. The values of SCC-Ag and CYFRA increased significantly with decreasing renal function (P   (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) View on Web
