Objective. Serum tumor marker (STM) elevation can detect metastasis earlier than imaging diagnosis and, although not recommended by guidelines, is still widely used in clinical practice for postoperative follow-up of breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the change rules of CEA and CA153 in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer during postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and their influencing factors. Materials and Methods. The medical records of patients with HER2-negative early breast cancer who visited Xuanwu Hospital from September 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics and baseline data of CEA and CA153 at initial diagnosis were collected. Data of CEA, CA153, biochemistry (including ALT, AST, rGT, triglycerides, cholesterol, and blood glucose) and blood routine (including white blood cells, neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, and platelets) were also collected before chemotherapy, at the end of chemotherapy and more than 3 months after the end of chemotherapy. LY/MONO, NEUT/LY, PLT/LY, and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) were calculated and statistically analyzed using SPSSAU software. Results. A total of 90 patients were enrolled, all of whom were female, with a mean age of

U/mL, respectively, which were significantly increased compared with those before chemotherapy, and were linearly correlated with the values before chemotherapy. They decreased (CEA

Conclusion. CEA and CA153 were increased presenting as “spiking” phenomena in patients with early HER2-negative breast cancer during postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and the peak of increase was linearly correlated with the indicators before chemotherapy. Clinical attention should be paid to this change to avoid excessive diagnosis and treatment leading to medical resource consumption.
