The urinary excretion of nonesterified cholesterol (NEC) has been investigated in 57 women with ovarian neoplasms and/or related nonneoplastic diseases. Twelve patients had benign tumors or lesions and 45 had malignant neoplasms of their ovaries. All patients with nonmalignant ovarian tumors or lesions had normal NEC excretion irrespective of the type of tumor or lesion or its degree of extension.

- The study investigated the urinary excretion of nonesterified cholesterol (NEC) in women with cervical and endometrial cancers, comparing them to various control groups.
- A significant number of women with active cancers showed NEC hyperexcretion, indicating a potential link between high NEC levels and active carcinoma.
- The findings suggest that monitoring NEC levels could serve as both a diagnostic tool for detecting cancer and a method to track patient response to treatment in those with uterine carcinomas.
