title: [Diagnostic possibilities of combining liver scintigraphy with the alpha-fetoprotein test in cancer patients].
abstract: Tumor process was assessed by liver scanning and determination of alpha 1-protein level in blood serum of 183 cancer patients. Liver metastases were detected in 75%, when assessment was carried out on the basis of the scans alone, and in 81.3%, when scanning was supplemented with alpha 1-protein level measurements. A higher accuracy of diagnosis was obtained as a result of the reduction in false negative findings.
