Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein that is normally produced by the developing foetus. However, AFP can also be produced by certain tumours and diseases of the liver. Raised levels of AFP are found in the majority of patients with a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma and also in some patients with cancer of the testis.

There are pros and cons to doing such a test and it is really important that before doing any genetic/cancer monitoring/predicting test, you speak to a clinician to determine if this is the right test for your, and how to manage the results.
