Abstract: Risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer by tumor dominance, a surrogate for cell of origin -Cancer Prevention Research



"Although limited by small case numbers, our results suggest that tubal ligation may be more strongly associated with tumors of ovarian origin, while family history of ovarian cancer primarily increases risk of tumors of tubal origin. Characterizing risk factor relationships by tumor dominance may elucidate how these exposures alter risk and help to improve prevention efforts."
