To investigate the association between endometriosis, tubal ligation, hysterectomy and epithelial ovarian cancer. Relevant published literatures were searched in PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science and Medline databases during 1995-2016. Heterogeneity was evaluated by I² statistic. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot and Egger's test. Odds ratio and 95% CI were used to assess the associatio...
