Using a double antibody radioimmunoassay test, a-fetoprotein was elevated (i.e., over 40 ng/ml) in 72% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, 75% of patients with teratocarcinoma or embryonal cell carcinoma of the testis, 23% of patients with pancreatic carcinoma, 18% of patients with gastric ca
## Abstract Determination of the circulating alpha fetoprotein (AFP) can be used to differentiate between choriocarcinoma or hydatidiform mole and normal pregnancy. Whilst a positive pregnancy test is common to all these states, the serum AFP was found to be elevated only when a fetus was present.
The combined tests of serum alpha 1-fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were routinely performed in 210 patients with focal hepatic lesions on a 99mTc-colloid liver scan in order to determine whether these could provide more useful information that AFP test alone in the qualitative
