Endometriosis is linked to a slightly higher risk of certain cancers, particularly ovarian cancer, although the overall risk is still small.

The paper reviews evidence on the risk of malignancy among patients with endometriosis, focusing especially on cancer types such as ovarian cancer and considering how big the risk increase is in absolute terms. It reports that endometriosis is associated with a modestly increased risk of some cancers, while the overall absolute risk remains low. The paper states that this association does not currently require changes to standard cancer screening guidelines, with an implied limitation that the conclusion depends on the quality and synthesis of existing evidence rather than new prospective risk estimates. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates malignancy risk, particularly in relation to ovarian cancer, in people with endometriosis.
