A member asked:
I have polysistic ovaries with cycst could this turn into cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not so likely: Women with polycystic ovaries are at increased risk for endometrial cancer because of the hormonal chaos. The cysts of the ovaries in polycystic disease aren't undergoing rapid cell turnover, hence the low cancer risk. By contrast, primary cancers announce themselves as individual cysts but grow rapidly.
