There is few research have so far focused on the clinical factors in patients with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Accordingly, this study aimed at comparing the demographic and obstetric characteristics between ovarian cancer with and without endometriosis. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 20 EAOC patients and 140 non-EAOC individuals who had gone under surgery from 2011-17 at Al-Zahra hospital. Clinico-pathological characteristics of the two groups including first group only had malignant epithelial ovarian tumor (non-EAOC) and second group had both malignant epithelial ovarian tumor and endometriosis (EAOC). P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: EAOC cases were significantly younger (P = 0.002) and had lower number of pregnancy (P = 0.002), parity (P = 0.004), and term pregnancy (P = 0.005) than non-EAOC patients. A large proportion of EAOC cases had clear cell and endometrioid histopathology in comparison to non-EAOC individuals (P < 0.001) and most of the tumors in these cases were unilateral (P = 0.01). Conclusions: We found that age, parity, gravidity, and term pregnancy as well as laterality and histopathologic type of epithelial ovarian cancers vary in EAOC and non-EAOC individuals. Further research is required to identify these differences. |\nCite By, Google Scholar\nArticles by Jafari Shobeiri M\nArticles by Hajagaei Saeidi N\nArticles by Ali Esmaeili H\nArticles by Dastranj Tabrizi A\nArticles by Pouraliakbar Y\nArticles by Mostafa-gharabaghi P\nArticles by Sayyah-melli M\nArticles by Vaezi M\nArticles by Rahmani V\nArticles by Pourasghari S\nArticles by Mehri Jafari Shobeiri\nArticles by Navideh Hajagaei Saeidi\nArticles by Heidar Ali Esmaeili\nArticles by Ali Dastranj Tabrizi\nArticles by Yasmin Pouraliakbar\nArticles by Parvin Mostafa-Gharabaghi\nArticles by Manizheh Sayyah-Melli\nArticles by Maryam Vaezi\nArticles by Vahideh Rahmani\nArticles by Sajjad Pourasghari\nSubmit Paper\nOnline Submission System CJMB ENDNOTE ® Style Tutorials Publication Charge Medical and Biological Research Center About Journal\nOnline Submission System CJMB ENDNOTE ® Style Tutorials Publication Charge Medical and Biological Research Center About Journal\nPublication Information\nPublisher\nAras Part Medical International Press Editor-in-Chief\nArash Khaki\nDeputy Editor\nZafer Akan\nAras Part Medical International Press Editor-in-Chief\nArash Khaki\nDeputy Editor\nZafer Akan\nPublished Article Statistics","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
