Is it true that endometriosis increases the risk of ovarian cancer?
Yes. A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis of 24 studies found a positive association between endometriosis and ovarian cancer risk (SRR 1.93), and multiple reviews and encyclopedia entries describe endometriosis as increasing ovarian cancer risk, though some note the link is not fully confirmed.
