Abstract
Menstrual pain is associated with increased production of inflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandins. Inflammation is involved in pathogenesis of several cancers, including ovarian cancer. In this study, we examined the association between menstrual pain and risk of ovarian cancer.Keywords
