In 100 patients of a 5 year prospective study, primary cancer of the liver could be demonstrated in almost 100% using AFP determination in the serum and combined 67 Gallium scintigraphy. By separate evaluation of the AFP results or 67 Gallium scintigraphy an accuracy of only 80% could be demonstrated.
