Abstract:
As one of the common benign gynecological diseases, endometriosis (EM) can have a serious impact on the physical and mental health and quality of life of women of childbearing age. Studies have shown that the risk of ovarian cancer in patients with EM is significantly higher than that in the general population. EM is closely related to the occurrence of some types of ovarian cancer, and this kind of ovarian cancer is named endometriosis-related ovarian cancer (EAOC). The incidence rate, pathogenesis, treatment and prognosis of EAOC are summarized in order to better understand it.
