Method: Sixty postoperative patients of breast surgery from January 2024 to December 2025 were selected and divided into an experimental group (malignant, 30 cases) and a control group (benign, 30 cases). Detect serum CEA and CA15-3/Tg levels at multiple time points before and after surgery, and record recurrence events during a 12-month follow-up. Result: The CEA and CA15-3/Tg levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before surgery at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (p &amp;lt; 0.05). The increase of CEA (HR = 2.84, p = 0.008) and CA15-3/Tg (HR = 3.12, p = 0.004) in the third month after surgery was significantly correlated with recurrence, and the combined prediction AUC was 0.913. Conclusion: The dynamic changes of serum CEA and CA15-3/Tg in the third month after surgery can effectively predict the risk of postoperative recurrence in breast surgery, and the combined detection value is higher.</abstract><keywords/></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>Zhou Q, Dai A, Fu X, 2026, Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Microwave Ablation on Thyroid Hormones and Tumor Markers in Patients with Multifocal Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma.
