Translation
Finnish

Translated by Maribel
Target language: Finnish

'''Alfa-fetoproteiini''' ('''AFP''') on molekyyli, jota muodostuu kehittyvässä [[alkiossa]] ja [[sikiössä]]. AFP:n pitoisuutta mittaavilla verikokeilla on kaksi pääasiallista käyttötarkoitusta: (1) raskaana olevilla naisilla seulontakokeena, jossa etsitään eräitä [[synnynnäisiä epämuodostumia]] ja (2) aikuisilla ja lapsilla [[merkkiaineena]] eräistä [[tuumoreista]].
Remarks about the translation
I (and the doctor in pathology I consulted) suggest "merkkiaineena" (marker substance) to be suitable for translating "tumor marker".
"tuumori" is any kind of not normal lump. Often used word is "kasvain" which could be either benign or malign but points already to neoplasm or cancer. My consultant suggest also to use "certain" instead of some kinds of" in the original.
