Abstract EN
Pelvic inflammation has been implicated in the genesis of ovarian cancer.
We conducted serologic measurements of Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies as a surrogate marker of chlamydial pelvic inflammatory disease.
Women with ovarian cancer (n=521) and population-based controls (n=766) were tested.
IgG antibodies to serovar D of chlamydia elementary bodies (EBs) were detected using an ELISA assay.
The odds of having ovarian cancer among women with the highest titers (≥0.40 OD units) were 0.6 (95% CI 0.4–0.9).
These data do not support our earlier finding of elevated titers for antibodies to C.
trachomatis among women with ovarian cancer.
