Differences in the position of endometriosis-associated and non-associated ovarian cancer relative to the uterus
ConclusionHGSCs are often not attached to the uterus, and EAOCs are positioned more posteriorly to the uterus than non-EAOCs.Critical relevance statementHigh-grade serous carcinomas were often not attached to the uterus, and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers were positioned more posteriorly to the uterus than non-endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers.Key points• The position of the ovarian tumor can be determined using MRI.• High-grade serous carcinomas had less attachment to the uterus.• Endometriosis-associated cancers were positioned more posteriorly to the uterus.• The location of ovarian tumors is helpful in estimating histology.Graphical abstract
