Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): Significant and persistent AFP elevation can indicate a higher risk of HCC. For chronic liver disease patients, a gradual increase in AFP along with abnormal imaging findings warrants careful consideration. Pregnancy: AFP levels typically rise in pregnant women because th...
a small number of those undergoing the test; the test is reassuring but the study nethod was inappropriate and hence failed to detect it; the test is not reassuring because of a lack of knowledge about the meaning of a negative result or, the way in which results of testing are conveyed...
On the other hand, it's important to note that elevated levels of AFP in the blood may not always indicate the presence of cancer. Other non-cancerous conditions such as pregnancy, cirrhosis, and hepatitis can also cause AFP levels to rise. Therefore, further testing and evaluation by a he...

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein produced primarily by the liver in a developing baby (fetus). AFP levels are normally elevated when a baby is born and then decline rapidly. Outside of pregnancy and birth, liver damage and certain cancers can increase AFP levels significantly. This test ...
AFP is generally considered to be a useful indicator for prognostic analysis and therapeutic evaluation9. Whether AFP inhibition plays a direct role in the treatment of HCC remains ambiguous. By testing several clinical anticancer drugs including oxaliplatin, 5-Fu and paclitaxel, we found that oxalipl...

AFP testing during pregnancy is recommended as an effective way to determine those women potentially at risk of carrying a fetus affected with an open NTD. Used in conjunction with other confirmatory procedures such as ultrasonography or amniography measurement of AFP serves as an important tool in...
