Epithelial ovarian cancer is a fatal disease of largely unknown etiology. Higher parity is associated with reduced risk of ovarian cancer. However, among parous women, the impact of pregnancy-related factors on risk is not well understood. This population-based case-control study included all parous women with epithelial ovarian cancer in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden during 1967-2013 (n=10,957) and up to 10 matched controls (n=107,864). We used conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for pregnancy-related factors and ovarian cancer risk by histological subtype. Preterm delivery was associated with an increased risk [pregnancy length (last pregnancy) ≤30 versus 39-41 weeks, OR 1.33 (95%CI 1.06-1.67), adjusted for number of births]; the OR increased as pregnancy length decreased (p for trend<0.001). Older age at first and last birth were associated with a decreased risk [first birth: 30-39 versus <25 years: adjusted OR 0.76 (95%CI 0.70-0.83); last birth 30-39 versus <25 years: adjusted OR 0.76 (95%CI 0.71-0.82)]. Increasing number of births was protective [≥4 births versus 1; OR 0.63 (95%CI 0.59-0.68)] for all subtypes, most pronounced for clear-cell tumors [OR 0.30, (95%CI 0.21-0.44), p-heterogeneity<0.001]. No associations were observed for multiple pregnancies, preeclampsia or offspring size. In conclusion, in addition to high parity, full-term pregnancies and pregnancies at older ages were associated with decreased risk of ovarian cancer. Our findings favor the cell clearance hypothesis, i.e. a recent pregnancy provides protection by clearing of precancerous cells from the epithelium of the ovary/fallopian tubes, mediated by placental or ovarian hormones.
