Abstract
Associations between the incidence of stromal and germ cell ovarian ca ncer and pregnancies were examined in a follow-up of 1.1 million women aged 20-56 years. Stromal tumours (41 cases) showed no clear associat ions. Germ cell tumours (71 cases) were related to high-age childbirth s and short time since birth.
