Prediction models for endometriosis-associated ovarian malignancy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background

Endometriosis is benign, but it is associated with an increased risk of clear-cell and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma. Several multivariable prediction models have been developed to identify malignant transformation or differentiate endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) from benign ovarian endometrioma. It remains unclear whether these models are sufficiently validated and reported for clinical use.
