In a population-based sample of epithelial ovarian cancers, to evaluate the association between microsatellite instability status and: 1) Ovarian cancer risk factors and 2) The distribution of the specific histologic subtypes. Participants were drawn from three population-based studies of primary epithelial ovarian cancer: Tumor DNA was analyzed using five standardized microsatellite markers to assess microsatellite instability (MSI) status. Patients were divided into three groups (MSI-high, MSI-low and MSI-stable) according to NCI criteria. We compared the prevalence of specific known risk and protective factors among the three subgroups, including BMI, smoking history, parity, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status, past oral contraceptive use, and tubal ligation. Similarly, we compared the distribution of the histologic subtypes among the three subgroups. A total of 917 ovarian cancer patients were included. One hundred twenty seven (13.8%) cancers were MSI-high. Subgroup analyses according to smoking, BMI, parity, past oral contraceptive use and past tubal ligation did not reveal any statistically significance differences among the groups. Among the 29 patients with BRCA1 mutations, 20.7% had MSI-high cancers compared with 5.9% among 17 BRCA2-mutation patients. The proportions of different ovarian cancer histologies among the various microsatellite instability subgroups were similar. The prevalence of risk and protective factors among ovarian cancer patients is similar for cancers with and without microsatellite instability. The distributions of microsatellite instability do not differ significantly among ovarian cancers with different histologies. Ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1 mutations had a 21% rate of MSI-high tumors, compared to 6% among patients with BRCA2 mutations, but this difference was not statistically significant.
