[Detection of liver metastases from digestive cancer. Value of alkaline phosphatases, their macromolecular isoenzyme and of ceruloplasmin].
In order to improve the non aggressive diagnosis of hepatic metastasis from digestive neoplasm, the authors analyzed the following biological parameters: aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase and lacticodehydrogenase isoenzymes, gammaglutamyl-transpeptidase, conjugated and total bilirubin, C-reactive protein, type A, G, M immunoglobulins, C3 complement factor, alpha-1 acidic glycoprotein (orosomucoid), haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, albumin, prealbumin, ferritin. This work included 54 patients with digestive tract cancer (esophageal, gastric, colic, rectal, anal localizations), divided in two groups: M- (n = 27), without hepatic metastasis), and M+ (n = 27, with histological confirmed hepatic metastasis). The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences for 12 parameters between the 2 groups. With more than 60% sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp), according to the ROC curves, the following parameters can be selected: Total alkaline phosphatase (Se 89%, Sp 70%) and their macromolecular H2 fraction, lacticodehydrogenase fraction 4 (Se 63%, Sp 63%), gammaglutamyl-transpeptidase (Se 85%, Sp 82%), ceruloplasmin (Se 64%, Sp 65%), aspartate-aminotransferase determination (Se 63%, Sp 65%).
