Abstract:
Objective To illustrate risk factors for epithe lial ovarian cancer. Methods An 1∶2 matched hospital-based ca s e-control study was conducted between 1997 and 1998 in Nantong and Lianyungang city, Jiangsu. The study included 103 pathologically confirmed primary epithel ial ovarian cancer cases and 206 controls. Results Single-fac tor conditional logistic regression analysis showed that parity, late age of men arche, long breast feeding duration and high body mass index(BMI) were protect ive factors for the disease, while intrauterine device(IUD) use, IUD use duratio n, family history of gynecological malignant tumors and hair dyeing were risk fa c tors for epithelial ovarian cancer. Parity, hair dyeing, IUD use, breast feeding and occupation entered multiple-factor regression model. Conclusions The result tends to support Fathalla's theory of incessant ovulation and n o difference was found in risk factors between epithelial ovarian cancer and ova rian malignant tumor.
