Description
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal globulin synthesized by the fetal liver, gastrointestinal tract and yolk sac. Within a year after birth, AFP in a normal serum is decreased to a barely detectable level. Elevated serum AFP levels may be observed in patients with nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma. A few other common cancers, usually with hepatic metastasis, increase AFP levels. These include carcinoma of stomach, gallbladder, prostrate and bronchi. Increase AFP levels have also been reported in non-malignant diseases.
