Risk Factors
The risk factors for the development of sexcord-stromal ovarian tumors are as follows:
- Preterm birth is a risk factor for developing sex cord-stromal tumors
- High gonadotropin levels in preterm girls could mediate disease risk by the proliferative and steroidogenic effects of FSH and LH on granulosa and theca cells
- High circulating levels of androgens during pregnancy were associated with increased risk of maternal sex-cord stromal tumors( indicating that elevated androgens may also play a role in the pathogenesis of sex-cord stromal tumors)
