The SGOT/SGPT ratios were observed in 174 cases of various histologic types of hepatoma confirmed by needle biopsy, consisted of 164 cases of primary hepatoma and 10 cases of metastatic adenocarcinoma during the period of about 4 years from Jan. 1976 to Dec. 1979 in Jeon Bug National University Hospital and Jeon Ju Presbyterian Medical Center. The results were as follows: 1. Ratio of primary hepatoma to metastatic adenocarcinoma was lg.4: 1 and ratio of hepa- tocellular carcinoma to cholangiocarcinoma was 18. 6: I. Histologic types of primary hepatic carcinoma showed 153 cases(93.3%) of hepatocellular carcinoma, 8 cases(4.9%) of cholangiocarcinoma, 2 cases(I.2%) of hepatoblastoma and a case of mixed type. 2. Sex ratios(man to woman) were 4. 7: 1 in primary hepatoma group, 4. 1: 1 in metastatic adenocarcinoma group, 4. 5: 1 in hepatocellular carcinoma group and 7: 1 in cholangiocarcin- oma group. In hepatocellular carcinoma group, the most frequent decade was 6 th, 5 th, and 7 th decade in order(The mean age was 50. 7 years). In cholangiocarcinoma group, the age distribution was peak in 4th decade(Mean age was 56. 2 years) 4 Mean values of SGOT and SGPT were 98.4 and 50.6 Karmen unit respectively in primary hepatoma group. The SGOT/SGPT ratio was l. 93>0. 48 in primary hepatoma group. 5 In metastatic adenocarcinoma group, mean values of SGOT and SGPT were 48 and 49 Karmen unit respectively and the SGOT/SGPT ratio was 0. 97. 6, None of the metastatic adenocarcinoma patients had above 13 gm% of hemoglobin. But 9.2% of primary hepatocellular carcinoma patients showed over 15. 5 gm% of hemoglobin. 7 Alkaline phosphatases in primary hepatoma group and metastatic adenocarcinoma group were 3. 7 times(8. 66 Bessay-Lowry unit) and 4. 2 times(9. 87 Bessey-Lowry unit) as normal values respectively.
