Cigarette Smoking and the Risk of Epithelial Ovarian
Cancer:
A Review
By Lauren Elizabeth Murray, MPH
Introduction. Early studies have suggested that there is
no
association between cigarette smoking and ovarian cancer.
However,
more recent studies have emerged reporting contradictory
evidence,
suggesting that the association between cigarette smoking and
ovarian
cancer not only exists, but is positive.
Objective and Methods. We sought to clarify the
relationship
between smoking and ovarian cancer, particularly by
histological
subtype, by conducting a systematic literature review.
Results. Overall, these studies indicate that in comparison
to
those who have never smoked, past and current smokers are at
increased risk of mucinous, but not serous or endometrioid
ovarian
cancers. Additionally, increased smoking increases the risk
of
mucinous ovarian cancers.
Conclusion. The literature to date suggests that women
who
smoke are approximately twice as likely to develop mucinous
ovarian
cancers compared with women who have never smoked. Primary
prevention of mucinous ovarian cancer is possible with an
adjustment
in behavior, as smoking is a modifiable risk factor.
