Blood tests to measure AFP have two main applications: (1) in pregnant women, as a screening test for some kinds of [[congenital malformation]] and (2) in adults and children, as a [[tumor marker]] for some kinds of [[tumor]].

''', [[, and ]] are Wikipedia codes; please leave them in.
editor's note: Embryo and foetus are both translated as ÎμβÏυο since there is no differentiating terminology depending on how developed the embryo/foetus is. If no indication of time exists, it is assumed that we are talking about the whole length of pregnancy
