EVALUATION OF THE RISK OF EPITHELIAL OVARIAN CANCER IN RELATION TO PRIOR DIAGNOSIS AND OVARIAN SURGERY FOLLOWING OVARIAN CYSTS AND ENDOMETRIOSIS

Abstract

Background: Eliminating precursor lesions may help avoid a small number of ovarian neoplasms. However, there is a dearth
of information in the literature currently available about risk assessment after an earlier diagnosis and surgery for
endometriosis and cysts.
Aim: Assessing the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in relation to prior diagnosis and ovarian surgery following endometriosis
and ovarian cysts was the goal of the current investigation.
Methods: The current study evaluated 1624 women who received an ovarian cancer diagnosis at the Institute throughout the
specified study period. In addition, 2626 females from the general community were recruited as study controls. To evaluate
the collected data, regression analysis was used.
