α-fetoprotein
(AFP), the foetal equivalent to albumin, is a 67 kDa glycoprotein produced
during embryonic development and found in high concentrations in foetal serum
and amniotic fluid. In normal nonpregnant adults, AFP is present in low
concentrations in serum. However, AFP may be markedly increased in the serum
from patients with cancer of the liver, testis or ovary. Quantitative
determination of AFP in serum may be valuable in the management of patients
with suspected or diagnosed liver cancer or germ cell tumors of the testis or
ovary.
