Obesity and risk of ovarian cancer subtypes: evidence from the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium
Whilst previous studies have reported that higher BMI increases a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer, associations for the different histological subtypes have not been well defined. As the prevalence of obesity has increased dramati…

BACKGROUND: Studies evaluating the association between alcohol intake and ovarian carcinoma (OC) are inconsistent. Because OC and ovarian borderline tumor histologic types differ genetically, molecularly and clinically, large numbers are ne…

The evaluation of cancer risk among patients treated for infertility is complex, given the need to consider indications for use, treatment details, and the effects of other factors (including parity status) that independently affect cancer …

BACKGROUND: Chronic inflammation has been proposed as a risk factor for ovarian cancer. Some data suggest that anti-inflammatory medications may be protective against ovarian cancer; however, results have been inconsistent. METHODS: We eva…

OBJECTIVE: Several chronic diseases have been hypothesized to affect the risk of subsequent gynecologic malignancies, possibly through shared hormonal mechanisms. METHODS: Using record linkage techniques, we assessed the relationships betw…

Although several risk factors are common to endometriosis and breast cancer, the results of observational studies of an association have so far been inconsistent. We evaluated the relationship between endometriosis and breast cancer on the …

BACKGROUND: Although studies have found elevated risks of certain cancers linked to infertility, the underlying reasons remain unclear. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study of 12,193 U.S. women evaluated for infertility between 1965 an…

OBJECTIVE: Although endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas are common conditions, the extent to which either is associated with certain types of malignancies remains uncertain. METHODS: Using record linkage techniques, we assessed the relati…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of ovarian cancer as related to underlying causes of infertility. DESIGN: Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING: Five large reproductive endocrinology practices. PATIENT(S): A total of 12,193 w…

BACKGROUND: Several common medical conditions are associated with altered hormone levels, and may thus plausibly influence breast cancer risk. Few studies have examined such relationships, and we utilized a population-based case-control stu…

Risk of breast cancer was assessed in relationship to gynecologic operations using data from a record-linkage study involving 15,844 women in the Uppsala Health Care Region of Sweden, who underwent surgery between 1965 and 1983. Data abstra…

OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to determine the risk of cancer after hospitalization for endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Records of 20,686 women hospitalized with endometriosis during the period 1969 to 1983, as identified through the nationwide Sw…
