Abnormal liver enzymes can be a sign of an abnormality. If a repeat test is still abnormal you should seek a medical evaluation which may include a more thorough history, physical exam , bloodwork and imaging studies.

Cancer is (very) unlikely. Could be NASH (non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis - fatty infiltrate in the liver), maybe too much Tylenol or any one of a hundred other conditions. These are mild elevations, does not appear very severe. Have her see a liver specialist (Hepatologist) to further evaluate.
