Endometriosis and malignancy

The guideline group is aware of publications linking endometriosis with certain gynaecological and non-gynaecological cancers.

However, the associations are controversial and no data exist at present to inform clinicians regarding the best management of patients who might be at risk of developing such cancers.

The guideline group will keep this area under review.
