[Diagnosis of hepatic metastasis by enzymatic assay. Value of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase].
Variations in serum enzyme levels were studied in 50 patients suffering from various types of neoplasm, 25 of whom had hepatic metastases. In the absence of any associated hepato-biliary or pancreatic disorder, gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase would appear to be a reliable test in 96 % of cases. It represents a factor of assessment which merits a place in the prognostic study of all types of neoplasia.
