Abstract

In 156 patients with gynecologic neoplasia the sieric levels of tumor markers (CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 72.4, SCC and 90 K) before the primary treatment and during the follow-up have been evaluated. In the patients with ovarian cancer elevated levels of CA 125 (80%), CA 72.4 (62%), 90 K (49%) and CA 15-3 (16.6) were found. The integrated evaluation of CA 125 and 90 K sieric levels was positive in the 86% of cases. The evaluation of CA 125 in combination with 90 K seems to facilitate the earlier detection of ovarian cancer recurrences. Elevated levels of SCC (89%) were found in the patients with cervical cancer. In the patients with endometrial or vulvar cancer the evaluation of these tumor markers was not significant.
