AbstractThe squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) has been widely applied as a serum marker in different kinds of cancer and was reported as a target gene for the detection of tumor cells in peripheral blood in cervical cancer. Nucleic acids released into the circulation are non-invasive diagnostic tools for cancer detection. The objective of this study was to determine the utility of SCC-Ag mRNA as a cancer detection marker in blood of cancer patients. For this purpose, 77 blood samples from five gastric cancer, 23 laryngeal cancer, 31 lung cancer, nine esophageal, and nine cervical cancer patients were analyzed. The
