Will endometriosis turn into cancer? is there any risk that the cysts or adhesions i have because of endometriosis are cancerous?

It : It is possible to have something called endometriod cancer but it is extremely rare. It is so rare that once endometriosis is diagnosed by surgery, it is not necessary to do another surgery if it recurs to make sure it is not cancer.

Rare: Any tissue or cell can turn in to a cancer including endometriosis. However, that is very rare.
