•Endometriosis may quadruple risk of ovarian cancer, study finds
80% Informative
The study included nearly 78,900 U.S. women with endometriosis.
The disease occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus starts growing outside the organ.
It affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women.
The study doesn't point to changes in who should get diagnostic or preventive surgeries for ovarian cancer.
The lifetime risk of ovarian cancer for women without endometriosis is 1.3% .
The new analysis raises this risk by only 0.1% — or about 10 extra cases per 10,000 people with any type of condition.
That still puts the overall risk much lower than the general population's risk of developing breast, lung and bowel cancer.
