Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a chronic estrogen dependent disorder where ectopic endometrial-like tissue causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is challenging to diagnose due to symptom …
Sex cord-like morphology is now a well-known feature of occasional examples of endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary or fallopian tube. Recently, we have observed that these tumors are frequently negative …
Endometriosis-associated intestinal tumors (EAITs) are rare malignancies that arise from ectopic endometrial tissue, and their clinical and molecular characteristics remain poorly defined.
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe subtype of endometriosis, often associated with dysmenorrhea and significant diagnostic challenges. Conventional biomarkers, such as cancer antigen 125 (CA125), lack sufficient specificity for …
The origin of ectopic gynecologic lesions has been debated since 1927, when Sampson first proposed retrograde menstruation as the underlying cause of endometriosis. Reproduction in mammals is an unusually permissive …

C-kit, E-cadherin and beta-catenin adhesion molecules and proto-oncogenes are thought to be associated with molecular mechanisms related to the invasion, implantation and persistence of ectopic endometrial cells. Comparing the expression …
A new humoral factor has been detected, within a project aiming to disclose the body's reproductive hormonal brake against tissue overgrowth, micrin ('my-crin'). Factor purification involved fractionation of ovine and …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects approximately 10-15% of women of reproductive age globally and is characterized …
