Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), and CA125 were determined pre- and postoperatively in non-small cell lung cancer patients (NSCLC) to assess the relationship between serum levels and postoperative recurrent disease. Ninety-five patients who underwent curative surgical resection were included (TNM stages I, II, IIIa). CEA and CA125 were determined by solid-phase enzyme-immunoassay, SCC by radio-immunoassay. Tumor relapse was detected in 41 patients (43%): 16 (39%) with locoregional disease and 25 (61%) with disseminated disease. The overall 36-month disease-free survival rate was 42%. The sensitivity for recurrence was 58% for CEA, 53.6% for CA125, and 51.2% for SCC; 87.8% of patients showed at least one elevated marker. The sensitivity of CEA and CA125 increased significantly in patients with preoperative serum concentrations above the cut-off: 86.6% versus 42.3% (p < 0.01), and 93% versus 18% (p < 0.01), respectively. Preoperative CA125 above 15 U/ml identified a high-risk group of patients: a lower 36-month disease-free survival rate (0% versus 56%) (p < 0.001), a 3.02-fold higher risk of recurrence (p < 0.05), and a 6.22-fold higher risk of disseminated failure (p < 0.001). The identification of CEA and CA125 producer-tumors, based on preoperative serum values, enhances the clinical performance of a postoperative surveillance program in surgically treated NSCLC. Preoperative serum CA125 is a prognostic factor to identify patients at high risk of postoperative tumor recurrence.
