Body size and risk of epithelial ovarian and related cancers : A population-based case-control study

摘要: Different subtypes of ovarian cancer appear to have different causes; however, the association between body mass index (BMI) and is unclear. We examined associations body-mass weight gain risk histological epithelial in a case-control study Australia. Cases aged 18-79 with new diagnosis invasive (n = 1,269) or borderline tumor 311) were identified through network clinics registries throughout Controls 1,509) selected from Electoral Roll. Height (1 year previously, at age 20 maximum weight) other factor information ascertained via self-administered questionnaire. Obesity was positively associated clear cell tumors (Odds Ratio 2.3; 95% confidence interval 1.2-4.2) but not endometrioid mucinous tumors. Although there no serous overall (0.9; 0.7-1.2), we did see an increased peritoneal (2.9; 1.7-4.9), ovary fallopian tube. Of subtypes, obesity (1.8; 1.1-2.8) (1.1; 0.7-1.7). Overweight any subtype overall. There BMI 20, for subtypes. These results add current evidence that increases woman's developing distinct cancer.
