The pathogenesis of ovarian and endometrial cancers is closely associated with estrogen-related pathways. These estrogen-dependent tumors seriously threaten the health and quality of life in women. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are defined as RNAs that do not encode proteins, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), both of which have been reported in estrogen-dependent female reproductive system tumors. This review systematically summarizes the role of ncRNAs in estrogen-dependent tumors and common patterns of regulatory mechanisms to explore their future research directions in tumor diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This may provide new ideas for the potential application of ncRNAs in estrogen-dependent female reproductive system tumors.

Objectives: Endometriosis (EM), a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic scarring, pain, and infertility. Although the pathogenesis of EM remains poorly understood, there is growing evidence suggesting the involvement of the immune system in its etiology, pathophysiology, and associated morbidities such as pain, infertility, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. While previous studies have indicated a close relationship between the immune system and EM, the specific underlying mechanism remains incompletely elucidated.

Endometriosis is a benign, estrogen-dependent, persistent chronic inflammatory heterogeneous condition that features fibrotic adhesions caused by periodic bleeding. The characteristic ectopic lesions are marked by a widely spread dense fibrotic interstitium comprising of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, collagen fibers, extracellular proteins, inflammatory cells, and active angiogenesis. Fibrosis is now recognized as a critical component of endometriosis because of which current treatments, such as hormonal therapy and surgical excision of lesions are largely ineffective with severe side effects, high recurrence rates, and significant morbidity.

Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma, one of the three most frequent cancers of the female reproductive system, primarily affects women who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal. Moreover, it is an epithelial cancer that develops in the endometrium, which is classified as either estrogen-dependent (type I) or non-estrogen-dependent (type II). Non-estrogen-dependent endometrial cancers include plasma cell carcinoma and undifferentiated/dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory pathology estrogen-dependent. It is a condition affecting 5%-10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Recent evidence indicating an embryological origin of endometriosis has provided new insights into its pathogenesis and potential therapeutic approaches.

Article Synopsis
- Endometriosis is an estrogen-related condition linked to inflammation and altered fat metabolism, which may increase cardiovascular risks; its relationship with the Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) needs further exploration beyond traditional BMI assessments.
- The objective of the study was to analyze how CMI correlates with the risk of endometriosis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) covering participants aged 20-54 with endometriosis history.
- Results indicated that higher CMI levels corresponded to a greater likelihood of developing endometriosis, a trend that held true even after accounting for various demographic and lifestyle factors such as age and socioeconomic status.
