Risks of non-ovarian cancers in women with borderline ovarian tumor: a national cohort study in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Associations between different cancer types are known. The affirmation of the risk for non-ovarian cancer after ovarian borderline tumors (BOT) is, however, sparse.

Aim

To analyze the risk of subsequent or simultaneous cancers in women with BOTs compared with the general female Swedish population.

Methods

An open cohort study (1995-2018) was conducted where a diagnosis of BOTs as well as subsequent or simultaneous cancer diagnoses were obtained from the Swedish Cancer Register and matched to the Total Population Register. Each woman with BOT was followed until non-ovarian cancer, death or emigration and could only be included once for the outcome. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for specific non-ovarian cancers were
