Studying the Risk Factors for Ovarian Cancer Among Ardabil City Women

The sixth most frequent malignancy in women is ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer ranks as the leading cause of death for women when compared to other gynecological cancers. Planning and executing preventive interventions based on geographic location and early diagnosis might benefit greatly from an examination of demographic and some epidemiological features. The purpose of this study was to look at the ovarian cancer risk factors among Ardabil city women. This case-control was done on one hundred women, fifty of whom had cancer and fifty of whom were healthy, were referred to Ardabil city hospital. A checklist was used to gather information from each woman, and SPSS version ۲۴ was used for both descriptive and analytical statistical analysis. Also we used logistic regression to determine the impactful risk factors on ovarian cancer. The average age was ۴۵.۹±۱۳.۴ years. In the control group, ۲۲% of women were obese, compared to ۴۶% of cancer patients. ۱۲% of women in the control and ۲% in cancer group had previously used OCP. Endometriosis was seen in ۲% of women in the control and ۱۶% in cancer group. The prevalence of obesity, history of endometriosis, and history of OCP use varied significantly between the two groups. Based on logistic regression results, none of risk factors are not significantly effective on the incidence of ovarian cancer. The results of this study demonstrated that the history of OCP usage and endometriosis in women were significant risk factors for obesity, among other significant variables.
