Abstract：Endometriosis is one of the most comnon benign gynecologic diseases.Malignant changes of endometriosis (EM)are considered to have close relationship with ovarian clear cell carcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma,and EM is regarded as the precursor lesion of OCCC.Previons clinical studies showed endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) patients have some special clinical and pathological features,and prognosis is good.And the basic research found that certain abnormal expression of genes was related to EAOC.Future research might focus on exploring new molecular target of EAOC,so as to guide the clinical screening of high risk population,predict disease progression,and help to build the precise classification system of ovarian cancer and the strategy of stratified management.
