Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Universidad de Zaragoza Facultad de Medicina and Lozano Blesa University Hospital, Domingo Miral s/n, Zaragoza 50009, Spain.
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) has been implicated in carcinogenesis, but there is no consensus regarding its involvement in ovarian cancer. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between IR and ovarian cancer.
Methods: Searches were conducted in five databases for studies evaluating IR markers (levels of serum insulin, C peptide, insulin growth factor [IGF] 1 and IGF-binding proteins [IGFBPs], homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance, and quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index) and ovarian cancer risk.
