I had an elevated alt of 68, no other symptons, all other labs good, non drinker, on bp medication. slightly over weight. could this be cancer?.

Unlikely: An isolated elevation of your ALT is very unlikely to represent cancer. Consult with the physician who ordered your tests to thoroughly go over your results; s/he can explain them best and put them in context. Be well!
