Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) has been shown to be expressed in ovarian cancer.
Here we have summarized the potential therapeutic and diagnostic implication of FSHR in the ovarian cancers based on a review of the literature.
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.
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.
卵泡刺激素受体(FSHR)已被证实存在于卵巢癌中。
我们通过文献回顾,总结了 FSHR 在卵巢癌中的潜在治疗和诊断意义。
目前的研究表明,FSHR 包含几种变体:FSHR-1、FSHR-2、FSHR-3 和 FSHR-4。只有 FSHR-1 和 FSHR-3 具有生物学作用。尽管 FSHR 在卵巢癌组织中的水平不同,但迄今为止,关于 FSHR 的表达水平与癌症的发生和进展之间的定量相关性报道较少。
全面了解 FSHR 在卵巢癌中的作用可能有助于寻找新的治疗和诊断方案,并改善癌症患者的管理。
