Is An SGPT Level Of 57 Suggestive Of Cancer?

Brief Answer:
No SGPT doesn't indicate Cancer at all.
Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
The normal values for SGPT (or ALT) are 7-56 Units per liter of serum. You are almost normal for that (although in the upper normal range). It may raise due to liver infection or liver toxicity and a raise of almost 10 times of normal is alarming and shows a liver disease e.g Viral Hepatitis, but not Liver cancer in any case.
You don't have cancer, based on the SGPT levels you mentioned. There are other ways to determine the liver cancers.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
Regards!
