Figure 54-6 Computation of median values for maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) in the second trimester. The observed average gestational age from Table 54-4 is plotted on the horizontal axis and the median of that week s AFP measurements on the vertical logarithmic axis.The thin vertical lines represent the 95% confidence intervals of the medians.The line represents the results of a linear regression analysis of log AFP versus age weighted by the square root of the number of samples. The equation of that line in completed weeks is median AFP== I o >- 5> (week3)+o.8334 jpjg Corresponding equation for day-specific medians is median AFP =...

Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) have been helpful in recognizing preoperatively the presence of an endodermal sinus tumor, embryonal carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, or a mixed germ cell tumor. [Pg.235]

Subsequent follow-up monitoring of patients includes physical examination, serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level measurements (if applicable) and multiphase CT scans performed at 6 weeks after the initial procedure and then every 3 months during the first 2 years and every 6 months thereafter.
