Best Answer

The SGPT and SGOT levels are enzymes of liver function that are tested in the blood. It is possible that some chemotherapy regimens can cause these to increase. Many things can cause elevations of these levels. It is very important that if you are taking any herbal or alternative treatments that you discuss these with your doctor as these can also elevate liver enzyme levels. It is also important that you keep track of all over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol and let your doctor know how much you are taking.

It is difficult to answer not knowing your situation or type of cancer, but I think it is also very important to talk to your doctor about whether your cancer could be growing in your liver and causing the increases of these values.
