Abstract | In this issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, Huang et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2020;189(7):660-670) report an inverse relationship between lifetime ovulatory years (LOY) and circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), counter to their hypothesis. CRP is a nonspecific systemic marker of chronic inflammation, and there is evidence that there are other drivers of systemic inflammation as measured by CRP. There also is a body of evidence supporting the possibility that ovulation may be responsible for a localized inflammatory response. Because ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women, preventive strategies are urgently needed. The findings of this report underscore the need for new research initiatives to determine the relationship between incessant ovulation and ovarian cancer risk in order to identify mechanisms of carcinogenesis. |
