What is the Liver Cancer Tumour marker Blood Test?
AFP is a glycoprotein produced by fetal tissues and tumours differentiated from embryonic structures. The determination of AFP during pregnancy helps diagnose some fetal malformations: neural tube defects, renal anomalies, omphalocele, intrauterine death, and situations that lead to AFP values above the normal values for the respective age of the pregnancy. Determination of AFP is necessary for the early diagnosis of liver cancers, being used as a screening method.
