Abstract

Serum alpha‐fetoprotein levels rise during various stages of poisoning of baboons with diethylnitrosamine before the induction of any liver tumours. The possible mechanisms causing raised AFP levels in people from primary liver cancer high‐risk areas are discussed in the light of these experimental toxicity studies on baboons.
