Serum p53 antibody as a predictor of early recurrence in patients with postoperative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

It is reported that surveillance of serum p53 antibody (Ab) is a useful marker in detecting esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). But there is little reported about prognostic significance of serum p53-Ab in postoperative patients with ESCC. The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of preoperative serum p53-Ab as a marker of early recurrence after curative resection for ESCC. Enzyme-linked immunosorvent assay (ELISA) was used to analyze serum p53-Ab before treatment in 44 patients with ESCC. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) were examined by immunoradiometric assay. The patients who were strongly positive and positive in serum p53-Ab were more likely to have early recurrence after curative resection than seronegative patients. There were no significant correlations between CEA, SCC-Ag positivity and early recurrence. We found that serum p53-Ab was useful to predict a risk of early recurrence after curative surgical resection for ESCC.
