Reproductive factors and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer: results from the Asia Cohort Consortium.
BackgroundThere are scarce data on risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in Asian populations. Our goal was to advance knowledge on reproductive -related risk factors for EOC in a large population of Asian women.MethodsThis study…
