What to Expect During Your Appointment

It is important to understand that tumor markers are not definitive. Elevated levels can have non-cancer causes, and normal levels do not completely rule out cancer. Results should always be discussed with your physician.

Understanding Your Results

Once your Afp Test results are ready, you will receive a detailed report showing your values alongside reference ranges. It is important to review your results with a licensed healthcare provider who can interpret them in the context of your overall health history, symptoms, and any medications you are taking.

If results fall outside normal ranges, your doctor may recommend follow-up testing, lifestyle changes, or treatment. For normal results, your provider can advise on appropriate screening intervals based on your age, risk factors, and health goals.
