Endometriosis is linked to a slightly higher risk of certain cancers, particularly ovarian cancer, but the overall risk is still low and does not alter current cancer screening recommendations.

This paper reviews evidence on the risk of malignancy in patients with endometriosis, focusing on cancer incidence—particularly ovarian cancer—while emphasizing that the absolute risk is low. It reports that endometriosis is associated with a modestly increased risk of some cancers but states that, based on current evidence, this association does not require changes to standard cancer screening guidelines. The major limitation is that the summary provided does not detail study design, included datasets, effect sizes, or how heterogeneity and confounding were handled. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates malignancy risk and highlights ovarian cancer as a key associated malignancy.

Abstract

The evidence suggests that endometriosis is associated with a modestly increased risk of some cancers, especially ovarian cancer, though the absolute risk remains low. This association does not currently necessitate changes in standard cancer screening guidelines.
