Folate Intake and Ovarian Cancer Risk among Women with Endometriosis: A Case–Control Study from the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium
Abstract
Although folate intake has not been associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer overall, studies of other cancer types have suggested that high folate intake may promote carcinogenesis in precancerous lesions. Women with endometriosis (a potential precancerous lesion) have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer; however, whether high folate intake increases risk in this group is unknown.
