Ovarian cancer is the most common fatal malignancy of the female reproductive tract and
frequently presents at an advanced stage. There is, thus, a great need for more sensitive�…

It is widely recognised that the early detection and subsequent assessment of recurrence of
ovarian cancers are key steps for successful treatment. Available serum markers (eg CA125)�…

The inhibins are produced and secreted by several ovarian cancers. Monitoring serum
levels by immunoassay may be a useful diagnostic aid in the initial assessment of this�…

The inhibins are a family of growth factors comprised of several different species that are
secreted in the female principally from the ovarian follicle. The inhibins perform best as�…

Elevated serum immunoreactive inhibin concentrations have been reported in patients with
mucinous and granulosa cell tumors of the ovary. The present study aimed to determine�…

Objective To investigate the role of serum inhibin A, inhibin pro‐αC immunoreactivity, activin
A, and follistatin in postmenopausal women with epithelial ovarian cancer. Design Case�…

Research endocrinologists are well aware of inhibin and the family of proteins of which it is a
part. Inhibin was discovered almost 70 years ago as a product of the gonads that selectively�…

Interest in inhibin as a marker of ovarian malignancy was stimulated by the description of
elevated immunoreactive inhibin levels in the sera of patients with granulosa cell tumours�…

Objective (s). Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary
are associated with elevated circulating levels of immunoreactive inhibin. Measurement of�…

Previous observations from our laboratory have demonstrated that the levels of
immunoreactive inhibin (ir-inh) are elevated in almost all patients with granulosa cell�…
