Peripheral venous concentrations of oestrogens in postmenopausal women with ovarian cancer

P K Heinonen et al. Br J Obstet Gynaecol. 1982 Jan.

Abstract

Serum concentrations of oestrone, oestradiol and oestriol were measured in 23 postmenopausal women, 12 with ovarian cancer and 11 with genital prolapse. Oestrone (387.6 pmol/l) and oestradiol (72.7 pmol/l) levels were higher in the cancer group than those in the control group (159.8 and 27.5 pmol/l respectively), while oestriol levels did not differ (434.5-270.8 pmol/l). The results indicate abnormal ovarian function in postmenopausal patients with ovarian cancer.
