ABSTRACT
Biological detection of liver metastases represents an important factor in the surveillance of the course of cancerous affections. The authors present a report on a potential new indicator, the isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase migrating to the alpha 1 region (alpha 1 ALP). In comparison to those tests considered the most sensitive at present-gamma glutamyl transferase and total alkaline phosphatase-this alpha 1 isoenzyme appears more sensitive and more specific, capable of detecting 97% of liver metastases with a specificity of 90%.
