Early diagnosis and treatment monitoring roles of tumor markers Cyfra 21-1 and TPS in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

The accumulated data point to the suitability of the clinical usage of these two markers, especially Cyfra 21-1, in the early detection of oral SCC lesions (primary, recurrent, or secondary) as well as for treatment monitoring. These results may open new avenues for the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients and hopefully improve their treatment outcome.
