Peripheral blood immune cells (CD4+/CD8+, CD56+, Treg) and serum tumor markers (CA125, SCC-Ag, TSGF, Cyfra211) were compared. Correlations with HPV-DNA levels, lymph node metastasis, and survival were analyzed.Results: Group A had lower CD4+/CD8+ and CD56+ levels but higher Treg and tumor marker levels vs Groups B/C (P< 0.05). Group B showed similar trends vs Group C (P< 0.05). In Group A, Treg and tumor markers positively correlated with HPV-DNA levels (r=0.552– 0.613), while CD4+/CD8+ and CD56+ negatively correlated (r=− 0.482/-0.467, P< 0.05). Patients with lymph node metastasis or mortality exhibited worse immune/tumor marker profiles than controls (P< 0.05).Conclusion: Compared with patients with CIN and chronic cervicitis associated with high-risk HPV infection, cervical cancer patients exhibit decreased systemic immune function and increased circulating tumor marker expression. These findings are closely associated with HPV-DNA levels. Systemic detection of these markers may provide valuable guidance for the early prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis assessment of cervical cancer in patients with high-risk HPV infection.Keywords: cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, chronic cervicitis, immune cells, tumor markers, high-risk HPV infection, relationship, clinical significance
