| Assess Risk for Estrogen-Sensitive Cancers |
 Are you at risk?
The Estronex Profile measures two key estrogen metabolites, 2-OHE1 (the "good" estrogen) and 16-α-OHE1 (the "bad" estrogen) to identify risk for development of estrogen-sensitive cancers including uterine, ovarian, cervical, and head and neck cancers. In high levels, the "good" estrogen, 2-OHE1, can help reduce cancer growth. The "bad" estrogen, 16-α-OHE1, in high levels may encourage tumor development. The ratios of "good to bad" estrogens are indicated from a single urine specimen!
