Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Oncology
  • Tumor Markers
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a tumor marker typically associated with primary liver cancer and germ cell tumors.
  • Elevated AFP levels have been anecdotally reported in gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinomas.
  • Gastric hepatoid carcinoma is a recently identified entity characterized by hepatoid foci, early liver metastasis, and rising serum AFP.
