Someone above linked to this: Asbestos Exposure and Ovarian Cancer: A Meta-analysis (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2093791123000744 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S209379112...) which concludes: "This meta-analysis provides evidence of a significant association between asbestos exposure and ovarian cancer mortality."
You might not be aware of any hypotheses that asbestos is a factor in ovarian cancer, but it seems others have for a very long time. In 2017 Germany considered ovarian cancer caused by asbestos to be an occupational disease. A link between talc and ovarian cancer was suggested back in the 1960s.
Talc, as something that causes cancer, has been being researched for a very very long time.
