Abstract:

Squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC-Ag) is a kind of tumor-associated protein with very low plasma level in healthy subjects,and plasma SCC-Ag detection plays a role in the diagnosis,treatment monitoring and prognosis judgement of tumor patients. However,in the clinical application process,SCC-Ag in plasma of non-tumor patients could be increased due to a variety of reasons,such as detection methodology,specific physiological and pathological processes,which causes confusion in clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this review,the increasing of SCC-Ag in non-tumor status has been reviewed in order to understand the characteristics of SCC-Ag and SCC-Ag detection results correctly.

Key words: Squamous cell carcinoma antigen, Non-tumor disease, Kidney disease, Skin disease, Hepatopathy, Lung disease
