Risk, prevalence and survival outcomes of ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis: the ENDOCANCER systematic review and meta-analysis

IPIlaria PiacentiVTVeronica TiusBGBenedetta Gomba

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze the relationship between endometriosis and the risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer, along with survival outcomes.
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies on ovarian cancer and endometriosis.
  • Focus on risk factors, histotype distribution, and prognostic outcomes.
  • Data compiled from multiple sources to establish a clearer link.
  • Increased risk of clear cell and endometrioid subtypes of ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis.
  • Survival outcomes vary significantly based on histotype distribution.
  • Evidence supports a notable connection between endometriosis and epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:Endometriosis is linked to an increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), especially clear cell and endometrioid subtypes.The extent and prognostic significance of this link are still not fully understood.This systematic review and meta-analysis compiles existing evidence on ovarian cancer risk, histotype distribution, and survival outcomes in women with endometriosis.
