Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovarian morphology, and other related disorders. It is associated with various health conditions, such as infertility and increased risk of heart problems. Ovarian cancer is also a significant concern, as it is the fifth leading cause of death in women. While there is evidence suggesting a potential association between PCOS and ovarian cancer, the exact nature of this relationship remains unclear. Thyroid disorders, particularly hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, have also been linked to PCOS. The presence of hypothyroidism can contribute to the development of polycystic ovarian morphology, affecting ovulation and hormone balance. Many works have shown a higher ubiquity of autoimmune thyroid disease in PCOS patients, indicating a potential association between the two conditions. The occurrence of PCOS, hirsutism, and acne underscores the frequency of endocrine disorders in women. This review paper examines the present relevant work on the association between PCOS and ovarian cancer as well as PCOS and thyroid disorders. A systematic literature search was conducted on the internet, such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar database, to identify peer-reviewed publications pertaining to PCOS, ovarian cancer, and thyroid disorders. While some studies have delineated a significant link between PCOS and ovarian cancer or thyroid disorders, others have yielded inconclusive results. Further research is necessary to establish a definitive causal relationship between these conditions. Understanding the relationship between PCOS, ovarian cancer, and thyroid disorders is crucial for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective management of these conditions. Identifying potential risk factors and developing appropriate screening strategies can improve women's health outcomes and reduce the burden associated with these disorders.

Keywords: PCOS, ovarian cancer, hypothyroidism, FSH, LH, sleep apnea.
