I have heard that low fsh levels can be associated with a higher risk of ovarian cancer. why is this?

Yes: You are right. Study by m a mcsorley et al int j of cancer 2009 aug 1 12593) 674-679 contradicts the popular belief that higher fsh levels will cause cancer.In this study risk is decreased with higher levels of fsh and lower levels are associated with ovarian cancers and it is a puzzle to me also , hope one of our expert oncologist will unravel.
