Abstract
Background:Endometriosis is a disorder in which the presence of endometrial-like tissue is found outside the uterus and affects 5-15% of women. It may undergo malignant transformation, generally presenting with ovarian cancers of endometrioid and clear cell adenocarcinomas, in 0.5-1% of women. Genetic mutations lead to disruption in chromatin remodeling, particularly targeting ARID1A, and activation of oncogenic pathways, which include targets such as the mTOR pathway.Methods:Thesearch in PubMed, Europe PMC, and Google Scholar will be done comprehensively using the keywords "endometriosis," "malignant transformation," and "cancer" for articles ever published until December 2024.Only those studies will be included that provided information specifically on the malignant transformation of endometriosis. Studies with a random diagnosis of cancer among endometriosispatients will be excluded.Data will be extracted by two authors using predefined criteria.

Materials
This systematic review will be carried out strictly according to the guidance by the PRISMA Statement.
Data sources and Search Strategy
A systematic search of three major databases-PubMed, Europe PMC, and Google Scholar-will be performed with
the keywords ‘ʼendometriosis, malignant transformation, cancerʼʼ. All available articles will be considered for this
study until December 2024.
Eligibility Criteria for Articles of Inclusion
Articles have to be full-length research papers written in English, whereas abstracts presented at scientific
meetings, case reports and review articles will be excluded. In addition, only those studies will be included that
provide information specifically on the malignant transformation of endometriosis. Studies with a random
diagnosis of cancer among endometriosis patients will be excluded. The quality and potential risk of bias for these

Introduction
1 Endometriosis is featured by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus
and affects approximately 5%15% of women of reproductive age. Though usually
benign, about 0.5%1% of cases undergo malignant transformation, mostly into ovarian
cancers, including endometrioid and clear cell adenocarcinomas.
Genetic mutations, most notably in the ARID1A gene, are involved in the pathogenesis of
EAOC; these disrupt chromatin remodeling and activate oncogenic pathways such as
PI3K/Akt.
Besides, the implication of the mTOR signaling pathway in the malignant transformation
of endometriosis suggests potential therapeutic targets.
Postmenopausal endometriosis is less frequent, but it is clinically challenging due to its
malignant transformation potential. Prolonged administration of estrogen-only HRT and
history of definitive gynecological surgery are some of the risk factors associated with
the condition.
This systematic review seeks to synthesize recent findings in the malignant
transformation of endometriosis regarding genetic and molecular mechanisms, clinical
risk factors, and potential therapeutic interventions. The more these processes are
understood, the better the diagnosis of early detection and the treatment approaches
against persons at risk for EAOC.
