AFP values increase post Chemo!!
Hi. 29M from India
Diagnosed with testicular cancer and undergone orchiectomy.
RESULT is embryonal carcinoma.
Undergone 2cycles of BEP regimen Chemotherapy.
Before orchiectomy B-hcg -8, AFP-1.65.
Post orchiectomy/start of chemo 1st cycle B-HCG <0.100, AFP-1.6,
Start of chemo 2nd cycle B-HCG <0.100, AFP-1.98,
After 2nd chemo end, 10 days later B-HCG <0.100, AFP-2.95
Liver function test values are good and in range.
Why there is increase in AFP levels continuously? (but within limits)
Anyone faced similar issue? Terrified with results ?
