Abstract

Introduction. Endometriosis is a widespread gynecological disease. In the last few years, new data have been accumulating confirming that endometriosis leads to an increased risk of malignant neoplasms of the ovaries, endometrium, breast and thyroid gland. The most commonly found form of endometriosis is endometrioma. Objective: to analyze epidemiological and genetic studies of the risks of neoplastic transformation of ovarian endometriomas based on search results in electronic resources MEDLINE, EMBASE, Elibrary from 2012 to 2023. Results. Epidemiological and genetic studies have proven the risk of malignancy of endometriosis with the development of ovarian cancer related to endometriosis. Studies confirmed, that two histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer, such as clear-cell and endometrioid cancer, most closely related to endometriosis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have confirmed the risk of endometrial cancer in women with endometriosis, which was shown earlier than epidemiological studies. Finding the genes and pathways underlying these complex diseases is an essential step toward developing better diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Conclusion. The review presents epidemiological and genetic evidence of the risks of ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer in women with endometriosis.
