Estronex Test

The Estronex test measures the person's risk of developing oestrogen-dependent cancer, such as breast cancer.

Oestrogen is broken down in the body into one of two products or metabolites.  

The breakdown metabolites are 2-hydroxy-estrone (2-OHE) and 16-alpha-hydroxy-estrone (16-OHE).   The first (2-OHE) tends to inhibit cancer growth, whereas the second (16-OHE) encourages cancer development.

The Estronex test measures the ratio of these two metabolites, and this provides an important indication of risk for the future development of oestrogen-dependent cancer.

Key Benefits

  • Gives an indication of risk of oestrogen-dependent cancer, such as breast cancer.
  • Simple, easy to carry out - small sample of early morning urine needed.
  • Accurate and cost-effective.

Who should have the test?

The test is available for everyone, but may be particularly useful for the following:

  • anyone at increased risk of oestrogen-dependent cancer, such as breast cancer, ovarian and other female cancers.

  • anyone with a family history or breast cancer, or other oestrogen-dependent cancer.

  • anyone with a previous history of breast or other oestrogen-dependent cancer.

  • those using the oral contraceptive pill long-term.

  • those using hormone replacement therapy.

  • post-menopausal women who are overweight, or who exercise very little, or who regularly drink more than two units of alcohol a day.

Other tests to consider

  • Female Hormone panel or Post Menopausal panel - to assess hormone levels
