He mea nui ngā kaupapa kimi pūmua ā-alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) i roto i ngā mahi haumanu, inā koa i roto i te tirotiro me te tautuhi i te mate pukupuku ate me ngā āhuatanga whānau kore o te kukune.

Mō ngā tūroro e pāngia ana e te mate pukupuku ate, ka taea te whakamahi i te kitenga AFP hei tohu āwhina mō te mate pukupuku ate, hei āwhina i te kitenga wawe me te maimoatanga. Hei tāpiri, ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te kitenga AFP hei aromatawai i te whai huatanga me te matapae o te mate pukupuku ate. I roto i te tiaki hapūtanga, ka whakamahia hoki te whakamātautau AFP hei tirotiro mō ngā āhuatanga rerekē o te whānautanga o te kukune, pērā i ngā hapa ngongo io me ngā hapa pakitara puku. Hei whakarāpopototanga, he mea nui te kitenga i te alpha-fetoprotein ki te tirotiro haumanu me te tautuhi mate.

I konei mātou ko Baysen Meidcal e arotahi ana ki te auahatanga hangarau, e whakawhanake ana i ngā matū whakamātautau POCT me ngā taputapu, ā, e whakamahi ana i ngā hongere o nāianei hei whakawhānui ake i te mākete hauora, me te whakaaro kia noho hei kaiārahi i roto i te mara o te tātaritanga tere POCT. Ā mātouKete whakamātautau pūmua-ārai-fetome te tino tika me te tairongo teitei, ka taea te tiki hua whakamātautau tere, he pai mo te tirotiro.
