Alpha‐fetoprotein and variant alkaline phosphatase were studied in a group of patients with hepatoma. The incidence of positive alpha‐fetoprotein was 67.6% in confirmed cases. Variant alkaline phosphatase was present only in patients with positive fetoprotein test, and it appeared in only 28.6% of the cases.
