Objective: The aim of this study was to diagnose primary hepatic cancer(PHC).
Methods: Seven serum indexes of 92 serum samples consisting of 48 controls and 44 PHC were detected. Four discriminant functions based on seven serum indexes were obtained with computer SPSS statistic package.
Results: The rate of coincidence, sensitivity, and specificity of the general discriminant functions were 86.96%, 77.27%, and 95.83% respectively; and that of the stepwise discriminant functions were 84.78%, 79.55%, and 89.59% respectively.
Conclusion: Usually PHC can be diagnosed by analyzing patients serum indexes with the discriminant functions.
