Cancers that react favorably to a higher 2:16 ratio
- ER + breast cancer
- ER – breast cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Laryngeal cancer
16 alpha-hydroxyestrone has been found to be elevated in those at risk for breast cancer, as well as other conditions associated with hyperimmune activity such as systemic lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. In these populations 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone was 10 times higher than the control population
Testing for the urinary levels of 2-hydroxyestrone and 16 alpha–hydroxyestrone provides valuable insight regarding disease risk. Improvements of the ratio can be made through dietary recommendations and supplements that specifically improve the 2OH pathway. We use the Dutch test, which is a dried urine test, to specifically look at the 2:16 pathways. We also find benefit with use of the Dutch test to evaluate the other sex and adrenal hormones instead of blood or saliva. To view a sample report click on the female or male report.
