Can you explain my lumbar puncture results - csf alpha feto protein 0.555 beta hcg 0.322(iu/l) i have a pineal tumour. tested csf for germ cell.

These values are OK: These levels do not look out of ordinary. You need to relate these levels to previous levels of these markers. if they were high before then this test might have some meaning. Your oncologist is your best guide to explain what it all means.
