I am posting for a friend - but am a 1 year breast cancer survivor myself. My friend is having Inhibin markers checked and her levels are rising. Does anyone have information on what numbers are high for inhibin? Is this a reliable marker? Are high levels typical of a reoccurance or can they be evidence of something else entirely? Any info you can provide would be helpful.

    It sounds like she is being screened for ovarian cancer. Inhibin is not commonly used as a marker for ovarian cancer. I don't think there are any blood tests are are 100% diagnostic for ovarian cancer. If it is high, the doc will want imaging tests next.
