title: [New tumour markers useful in diagnostics and monitoring of cervical cancer].
abstract: Cervical carcinoma is the most frequent disease of the female reproductive organs. The tumour markers may be helpful: in early diagnosis of cervical cancer, the initial assesment of the extent of the disease, monitoring of tumour growth or tumour volume reduction, recurrence of cancer, and have been used for monitoring of the clinical course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this paper we have focused on the role of new tumour markers, especially cytokines (for example G-CSF, VEGF) and molecular markers of carcinogenesis (for example Bcl-2 and p53), in comparison to typical tumour markers useful in diagnostic of cervical cancer such as CA 125, SCC-Ag, TPA, TPS, CYFRA 21-1.
