 Mr. Yeboah, diagnosed with a malignant tumour of the liver had it removed and was given a course of chemotherapy. Initially, tumour marker (AFP) activity activity was 7500KU/L (which is very high) but after treatment, this gradually declined to only 5KU/L. A routine follow up test was perfomedafter 3 months and the results was 15KU/L for AFP. The doctor suspected a relapse of the tumour and so referred Mr. Yeboahto an oncologist at a cancer centre who also did a re-check. AFP was recorded to be 5KU/L. Enquiries revealed that the hospital and the cancer centre use different instruments for the measurement of AFP. Both results are normal even though the values are significantly different because different methods were used.a) How can both labs confirm that the results are not clinically significant? b) How can both labs avoid this happening again?
