A tumor marker primarily used to screen for and monitor liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein) is a protein produced by the fetal liver and yolk sac during pregnancy. In non-pregnant adults, AFP should be present at very low levels. Elevated AFP can indicate hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), germ cell tumors (testicular and ovarian), or liver regeneration from hepatitis or cirrhosis. It is recommended as a surveillance tool for patients with chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or cirrhosis who are at high risk for liver cancer. ## Biomarkers measured - [AFP](https://www.test-well.com/biomarkers/afp) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Labcorp | $26.99 | $32.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.
