Liver Cancer Tumour marker blood test : Clinic visit

AFP Liver Cancer Tumour Marker.

AFP is a glycoprotein produced by fetal tissues and tumours differentiated from embryonic structures. The determination of AFP during pregnancy helps diagnose some fetal malformations: neural tube defects, renal anomalies, omphalocele, intrauterine death, and situations that lead to AFP values above the normal values for the respective age of the pregnancy. Determination is necessary for the early diagnosis of liver cancers, being used as a screening method.

Why get one?

A high level of a certain tumour marker can indicate a certain type of cancer. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a certain type of cancer. Evaluate how well the treatment worked. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening purposes to help detect a certain type of cancer in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.

Instructions for use

Please take your sample in the morning. Take it at least one hour before any medication.

Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier

Technology Method:

Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay

Limit of Detection:

Less than or equal to 5.0 ng/mL.

Accuracy and Precision:

The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within-assay CV is less than or equal to 15 %. The between-assay CV is ≤ 15%.

Measuring Range:

5~400 ng/mL

Validation-Active Information:

EQA:
Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Q/Calibration/New materials/Batch

Precision:

The accuracy of these methods is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.

The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same sample was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.

In range results:

The reference range for healthy nonpregnant females and males is less than 20 ng/mL.

Out-of-range results:

Any result greater than the reference range would be considered abnormal. Those with elevated levels of AFP may be at risk for small-cell lung type cancer. Elevated levels of may also indicate other cancers including Hodgkin’s disease, lymphoma, and kidney cancer.
