Alpha fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer: clinicopathological features and treatment strategies [PDF]
Cell & BioscienceAlpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a widely recognized tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma and yolk sac tumors. Alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer (AFPGC) is a rare but highly malignant subtype of gastric cancer associated with poor prognosis.

ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN ABORTION [PDF]
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1972 The clinical value of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a guide to the outcome of threatened abortion was assessed. After the thirteenth week of gestation, abortion occurred more frequently (10/12) in women with abnormal serum AFP levels than in those (2/12) whose AFP concentrations were within the normal range. Low levels were present in women

Alpha-fetoprotein detection of hepatocellular carcinoma leads to a standardized analysis of dynamic AFP to improve screening based detection [PDF]
, 2016 Detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through screening can improve outcomes. However, HCC surveillance remains costly, cumbersome and suboptimal. We tested whether and how serum Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) should be used in HCC surveillance.
