ALPHA FETOPROTEIN TUMOUR - This is a blood test to look for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in your blood. AFP is normally made by a fetus's liver and yolk sac. It's the main protein during the first three months of development. AFP greatly decreases by age 1 and should only be found in adults in very low levels. AFP is one of several tumour markers. Tumour markers are molecules in the blood that are higher when a person has certain cancers. AFP is found mainly in liver cancer and non seminomatous germ cell tumours, which are rare.
