Abstract

Aflatoxin B 1, B 2, G 1, G 2 levels were determined in sera of 20 patients with primary liver cell carcinoma (CC). Values of b 1 above 0.15 μg/ml were obtained in sera of three patients. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was detected in only 35% of patients. 50–90% of serum levels were cleared in 24 h in three patients studied. Although it is inconclusive as to the carcinogenic potential of aflatoxins in adult man, foodstuffs should be protected from excessive aflatoxin contamination.
