    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 2060 inpatients with cirrhosis of the liver identified 164 patients with extrahepatic cancer, a 20-fold increase over the expected number. Gastrointestinal, ENT, pulmonary, and hematologic malignancies predominated. Extrahepatic cancers occur more often and at an earlier age in patients with cirrhosis of the liver than in the population at large.
