Use

This test is useful as a tumor marker for squamous cell carcinomas located in the head and neck, uterine cervix, lung, vulva, and esophagus. It is performed using the BRAHMS SCC Kryptor kit, and results from this kit should not be used interchangeably with results obtained by other methods. SCC Antigen levels alone are not necessarily indicative of the presence or absence of malignancy. In patients with known or suspected cancer, SCC levels should be considered alongside other diagnostic tests and procedures.
