AFP is the most sensitive and specific index for early diagnosis of primary liver cancer, which is suitable for large-scale census. If the AFP value in adult blood rises, it means that there is a possibility of liver cancer.
The significant increase of AFP content generally indicates primary hepatocellular carcinoma, and 70~95% patients have increased AFP. The more advanced, the higher AFP content, but negative can not rule out primary liver cancer. AFP level reflects the size of tumor to a certain extent, and its dynamic changes have a certain relationship with the condition, which is a sensitive index to show the therapeutic effect and prognosis judgment. An abnormally high AFP value generally indicates a poor prognosis, while an increase in AFP content indicates a worsening of the disease.
The AFP of gonadal embryonal carcinoma and ovarian endodermal sinus carcinoma in obstetrics and gynecology will also increase significantly. Moderate increase of AFP is also common in alcoholic cirrhosis, acute hepatitis and HBsAg carriers. Some digestive tract cancers can also have an increase in alpha-fetoprotein. The increase of AFP in pregnant women's serum or amniotic fluid indicates fetal spina bifida, anencephaly, esophageal atresia or multiple births, while the decrease of AFP (combined with the age of pregnant women) indicates that unborn fetuses are at risk of Down syndrome.
