There have been many rumors in the community of endometriosis being linked to cancer. According to this article, there have been a lot of studies done to try to link this disease with cancer, specifically ovarian cancer. However, none of them were conclusive.
"In other words: the association between endometriosis and cancer is complex and our knowledge is growing and our understanding evolving.
This must be a focus of future research. To achieve this, we must demand funding for rigorously designed studies that will produce robust findings, and we must expect women with endometriosis and those who care for and about them to participate in this discovery."
"Endometriosis has a benign nature, but it shares some characteristics with malignant tumors, such as an invasion of local and distant organs, abnormal tissue growth, impacting function of target organs, and genetic damage.
There is no direct evidence that endometriotic implants turn into cancer."
