Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
Advances in kidney transplantation have transformed survival and quality of life for women with end-stage renal disease, necessitating a focus on long-term health care for this population. Female kidney transplant …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that shares epidemiological and pathological features with endometrial cancer. However, the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disorder associated with infertility and increased cancer risk, necessitating the development of sensitive and reliable diagnostic methods. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising noninvasive …
Endometriosis has been associated with several risk factors for cancer, and population-based research has shown that women with endometriosis have a higher risk of several types of cancer. The aim …
Ovarian cancer (OC) remains a major global health issue, often diagnosed late and lacking effective screening.
To critically evaluate the evidence linking endometriosis to ovarian cancer, with particular focus on endometrioid and clear cell histologic subtypes, and to inform risk stratification and patient counseling.
The human endometrium is a complex, dynamic and poorly understood tissue involving monthly cyclical regeneration likely from adult stem/progenitor cells. This regeneration is associated with reproductive pathologies, such as endometriosis …
Endometriosis is linked to an increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), especially clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. The extent and prognostic significance of this link are still not fully …
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a rare subtype of ovarian cancer arising from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS). Despite growing clinical awareness, its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully …
