open access: Jan 2012 - Assessing the malignant potential of ovarian inclusion cysts in postmenopausal women within the UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS): a prospective cohort study



Objective  To evaluate the malignant potential of ultrasound-detected ovarian inclusion cysts in the development of ovarian cancer (OC) in postmenopausal women.
Design  Prospective cohort study.
Setting  UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOCS).
Population  Postmenopausal women.

Conclusions  Postmenopausal women with ultrasound-detected inclusion cysts do not seem to be at increased risk of ovarian or breast/endometrial (hormone-dependent) cancers.
