PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the role of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in the management of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS SCC assay was performed with a radioimmunoassay kit in a series of 102 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. The values of 2.5, 5, and 7 ng/mL were used to define SCC antigen positivity. The chi 2 and Fisher's exact test and the stepwise logistic regression were used to evaluate the distribution of marker values. Analysis of survival was performed using the Kaplan and Meier test and Cox multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS SCC levels were elevated in 65%, 45%, and 32% of patients with primary tumors for cutoff values of 2.5, 5, and 7 ng/mL, respectively. SCC pretreatment levels correlated with stage, tumor volume and lymph node status. In the multivariate analysis, SCC expression proved to be an independent predictor of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. SCC posttreatment levels were strongly related to chemotherapy response. Moreover, the overall correlation between the clinical course of the disease and the variation of SCC levels was 83%. In patients with squamous cell tumors, survival was significantly longer in SCC-negative cases compared with SCC-positive cases (P = .04). Moreover, in patients undergoing surgery after response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, low SCC values were associated with better prognosis (P = .02). In the multivariate analysis, parametrial involvement and SCC status proved to retain an independent prognostic value. CONCLUSION Our data show that SCC assay may provide useful information to improve the prognostic characterization and disease monitoring of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Цель - оценить ассоциацию генов TР53 (rs1042522) и XRCC1 (rs25487, rs1799782) со статусом по вирусу папилломы человека (ВПЧ) и уровнем онкомаркеров у женщин киргизской национальности с раком шейки матки (РШМ). Материалы и методы. Исследование проведено по типу «случай-контроль» и включало 103 женщин с гистологически верифицированным диагнозом РШМ и 102 женщин без онкологической патологии в анамнезе. Генотипирование пациентов осуществлялось методом ПЦР-ПДРФ. Проведено типировование ВПЧ 16 и 18 типов, в сыворотке крови определены уровни ракового эмбрионального антигена (РЭА) и SCC (squamous cell carcinoma antigen). Результаты. Генотипы Pro/Pro и Arg/Pro полиморфизма p.Arg72Pro гена ТР53 были ассоциированы с наличием у женщин с РШМ ВПЧ 16 типа - ОШ=1,98 (95% ДИ=1,01-3,86, p=0,04), а генотип Pro/Pro полиморфизма p.Arg72Pro гена ТР53 - с ВПЧ 18 типа - ОШ=9,15 (95% ДИ=1,78-46,96, p=0,002). Высокие уровни онкомаркеров РЭА и SCC чаще встречаются у пациентов с РШМ, имеющих размер первичного опухолевого узла более 4 см. Патологически высокие уровни РЭА и SCC ассоциированы преимущественно с ВПЧ 16 типа. Заключение. Наличие аллеля Pro (генотипов Pro/Pro и Pro/Arg) по ОНП p.Arg72Pro (ген ТР53) у женщин с РШМ ассоциировано с положительным статусом по высокоонкогенным ВПЧ 16 и 18 типов. Aim: Evaluation of the role of TР53 (rs1042522), XRCC1 (rs25487, rs1799782) gene depending on the human papillomavirus (HPV), morphological parameters of the tumor and tumor markers of the blood among women with cervical cancer (CC) in Kyrgyz Republic. Methods. This was a case-control study of 205 women of Kyrgyz origin with morphologically verified CC (N=103) and 102 women without cancer and chronic diseases. Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP method. HPV 16 and 18 types, levels of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and сarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) tumor markers were detected. Results. A relationship has been identified between the genetic and clinical and biochemical parameters: Pro/Pro и Arg/Pro for single-nucleotide polymorphism p.Arg72Pro of the ТР53 gene were associated with HPV 16 type - OR 1,98 (95% CI=[1,01-3,86]), p=0,04; Pro/Pro for p.Arg72Pro of the ТР53 - with HPV 18 type - OR =9,15 (95% CI=[1,78-46,96]), p=0,002. Among patients with tumor size of more than 4 cm are more common high levels of CEA and SCC tumor markers. High levels of CEA and SCC are associated mainly with type 16 HPV. Conclusions. The results of the present study suggest that the presence of the Pro allele (genotypes Pro/Pro and Pro/Arg) by SNP p.Arg72Pro (TP53 gene) among women with cervical cancer is associated with a positive status for highly oncogenic HPV 16 and 18 types.
