**4. Conclusion**

The link between endometriosis and different cancers is yet to be well understood. Though evidence dates back to the early 1990s, we still need robust data to back the hypothesis. Genetic alteration and hormonal role are postulated to be factors in the development of different cancers in women with endometriosis. The exact mechanism of this complex process is yet to be established. First, we need to understand the basics of endometriosis, the physiological changes, genetic aberration associated with the disease, and morbidity issues. All women with endometriosis should be evaluated clinically and with appropriate imaging studies and be managed appropriately by specific drugs, fertility-enhancing surgery, or surgical removal of all visible lesions which may necessitate hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. These women need strict follow-up even years after menopause. This will reduce the risk of future development of EAOC. More methodically robust prospective research with a large population is the need of the day to attribute the relationship of endometriosis and cancers as a cause or association. Our knowledge is growing and our understanding is evolving.
