Background: Several studies have suggested that endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, especially for clear-cell and endometrioid subtypes. However previous studies lack sufficient power or diagnostic certaint…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of ovarian cancer in women with histologically proven endometriosis after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). DESIGN: Retrospective nationwide cohort study. SETTING: Dutch pathology database. PATIENT…

Women with histologically proven endometriosis/adenomyosis have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Small studies show conflicting results on the endometrial cancer risk in women with endometriosis/adenomyosis. Therefore, we assessed the i…

We aim to compare endometrial cancer survival in women with or without histological proven endometriosis or adenomyosis. We identified all women with endometrial cancer between 1990 and 2015 from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). Data …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a risk factor for low-grade serous, clear cell, and endometroid ovarian carcinoma. In both endometriosis and ovarian carcinoma, immunological factors are associated with clinical outcome. Chronic inflammation …

OBJECTIVE: Assessing the association between endometriosis and/or adenomyosis and ovarian cancer. METHODS: We identified all women with histological proven endometriosis (51,544 women) and/or adenomyosis (85,015 women) from the Dutch patho…

BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, especially for the clear-cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, previous studies lack sufficient power or diagnostic cer…

BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the possible association between endosalpingiosis and ovarian cancer, therefore we assessed whether there is an association between histological confirmed endosalpingiosis and ovarian cancer. METHO…

BACKGROUND: Contradicting results regarding ovarian cancer prognosis in women with endometriosis have been reported in the literature. Owing to the small sample size of previous studies, larger studies are required to elucidate the role of …
