There are always different medical opinions on what does or does not lead to cancer. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is common female endocrine (or hormonal) disorders characterized by multiple abnormal ovarian cysts. It is believed by some physicians that the conditions of PCOS can lead to an environment in the body that encourages cancer development. You should consult a Dr. with any medical concerns.
