ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) has been shown to be expressed in ovarian cancer.METHODS:
Here we have summarized the potential therapeutic and diagnostic implication of FSHR in the ovarian cancers based on a review of the literature.RESULTS:
Current research indicates that FSHR comprises several variants FSHR-1, FSHR-2, FSHR-3 and FSHR-4. Only FSHR-1 and FSHR-3 have biological roles. Although the level of FSHR differs in ovarian cancer tissues, few quantitative correlations have so far been reported on the expression levels of FSHR and carcinogenesis and progression of cancers.CONCLUSION:
A comprehensive understanding of the role of FSHR in the ovarian cancers may help the search for novel therapeutic and diagnostic regimens and improve the management of cancer patients.Palabras clave
