64 patients with various malignant neoplasms (6 primary and 18 secondary liver cancers, 40 tumors without evidence of hepatic involvement) entered a comparative study measuring serum levels of 5'nucleotidase, AFP, TPA, CEA, CA 19-9. In primary liver cancer, 5'nucleotidase true positive rate was 100% (vs 67% of AFP, TPA, CA 19-9 and 33% of CEA); in secondary liver tumors it was 67% (vs 11% of AFP, 44% of CEA, 55% of CA 19-9 100% of TPA). Diagnostic sensitivity was 75% and specificity 90.5%.
