Someone on this forum had asked about endometriosis and the risk of subsequent cancer and I said no relation.

Based upon new research reported by the Endometriosis Association in Milwaukee, quoting from Self Magazine, "Women with endometriosis were more likely to develop several types of cancer, including breast and ovarian, melanoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma....". If you'd like more info on this, contact the Endometriosis Association.
