Quick answer

The Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) Tumor Marker Test is a blood test that measures the level of AFP, a protein normally produced during fetal development. In adults, elevated levels can be associated with certain liver tumors and other conditions, so AFP is used as one part of evaluation and monitoring rather than as a stand-alone diagnosis. Results are interpreted with imaging, medical history, and a qualified healthcare provider's assessment.

What this test measures

Alpha-fetoprotein is a protein produced mainly during fetal life, and adults normally have very low levels. Because some liver tumors produce AFP, the marker is used in clinical practice to support monitoring of people with known or suspected liver cancer. It is also used in other settings, including certain liver diseases and pregnancy-related evaluations.

The test requires a blood sample drawn from a vein. AFP is measured in serum and reported as a concentration. Levels can be influenced by many factors, and a single value is rarely enough to make decisions. Tracking changes over time is often more informative than any one measurement, which is why clinicians repeat the test as part of ongoing care.

AFP testing is requested for purposes such as monitoring treatment response, watching for recurrence after treatment, and supporting the evaluation of liver masses or chronic liver disease. It is not a screening test for the general population. A qualified healthcare provider can explain how the result fits into a broader assessment.
