Sixty seven patients with primary extrahepatic malignancy and documentation of the presence or absence of hepatic metastases were selected for study. Tie results were summerized as follow:
1. Twenty one of 67 patients were documented presence of hepatic metastasis.
2. Hepatomegaly on physical examination were detected in 71.4% of patient with hepatic metastasis.
3. Serum alkaline phosphatase elevation were observed in 38.1% of patient with metastasis and in 13.0% of patient without metastasis.
4. Abnormal value of serum AFP were revealed in 14.3% of patient with metastasis and in 4.3% of patient without metastasis
5. Patient with serum CEA value greater than 9.0ng/ml were calculated in 87.5% of metastasis and in 37.5% of non-metastasis.
