| Pathobiological Mechanisms | The fetal yolk sac and liver are generated, and re-expressed in NSGCT containing yolk sac tumor components. | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Routine clinical application (guideline Standard) | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | It is not elevated in pure spermatogonial cell tumors. The half-life is 5-7 days. The level is related to tumor load, but it can also be elevated by non-tumor factors such as liver disease. | ||||
