Hello All,

Most of people know me here and My mother was diagonesd in may 2009 with endo adenco stage 3 c grade 1. she had finished chemo in sept 2009. she is in remission with grace of god.

In april her ca125 was 7. she went yesterday for her exam. Doctors has ordered her FSH test.

Is it test for cancer. Her level come high 60.8. Is anyone has done test and she had complete radical hyst.... what was ur value?

Her ultrasound was clean with CBC.

    Female Specific Hormone
    FSH is Female Specific Hormone. It is for estrogens i think. Seems strange she would have any estrogen left in her system.

    FSH
    Kuma,
    The FSH test stands for Follicle Stimulating Hormone and it is a measure of fertility and menopause. I am guessing she still has her ovaries. If her level is abnormally high, it just means that her ovaries are not as active as they were when she was fertile and she is menopausal. It is not an indication of ovarian cancer.

    Dear Kumar

    You should go to the uterine cancer discussion board. Most of us are more focused on ovarian cancer which doesn't use FSH as a tumor marker.

    FSH is a new tumor marker
    I know very little about FSH as a tumor marker for uterine cancer. But it appears to indicate there may still be cancer activity present. Try asking someone on the uterine cancer discussion board.

    On internet it is saying not using for cancer test. i am very confused why FSH has been used in uterine cancer.
