متن کاملTubal ligation, hysterectomy and epithelial ovarian cancer in the New England Case-Control Study.
Previous studies have observed that tubal ligation and hysterectomy are associated with a decreased risk of ovarian cancer; however, little is known about whether these associations vary by surgical characteristics, individual characteristics or tumor histology. We used logistic regression to examine tubal ligation, simple hysterectomy and hysterectomy with unilateral oophorectomy in relation t...

We undertook an international collaborative study to examine the association between tubal ligation and ovarian cancer subtypes. METHODS We pooled primary data from 13 population-based case-control studies, including...
