Malignant transformation of adenomyosis: literature review and meta-analysis.
Hang YuanShiqian ZhangPublished in: Archives of gynecology and obstetrics (2018)
At present, the malignant transformation of adenomyosis is thought to be due to its endometrial epithelium transition to monolayer tumor cells before malignant transformation, which eventually develops to varying degrees of cancer. However, the specific molecular mechanism of adenomyosis is not yet clear. Because of its low incidence of malignant transformation, lack of large-sample, multi-center clinical trials, and large heterogeneity of the existing research, the evidence based on the high-risk factors of malignant transformation of adenomyosis is weak.
