Conservative endometrioma surgery: The combined technique versus CO2-laser vaporization only (BLAST: Belgium LAser STudy): Clinical protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

The surgical management of endometrioma(s) remains challenging. Although laparoscopic surgery is a well-established treatment of endometrioma(s), caution is required to minimize ovarian damage. Several surgical techniques have been described to …

Optimizing infertility treatment for ovarian endometrioma: is surgical intervention preferable before or after in-vitro fertilization programs?

Endometriosis is one of the common endometrial pathologies that occurs in reproductive-age women and could lead to infertility. This study set out to observe which clinical management of endometriosis with …

A systematic review and meta-analysis of advanced oxidative protein products levels (AOPP) levels in endometriosis: association with disease stage and clinical implications.

Endometriosis is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain and lacks precise pathophysiological mechanisms. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, are implicated in pain-related diseases …

Clinical usefulness of E4-phytohemagglutinin reactive C4-binding protein relative front value in serum for distinguishing between ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma and endometrioma.

We identified a fully sialylated glycopeptide of the α-chain of Complement 4 binding protein (C4BP) in blood using Liquid chromatography/Mass spectrometry, which helps differentiate ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) from …

Fertility preservation in women with endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that can compromise fertility in up to 30-50% of affected patients, and it is estimated that patients affected by endometriosis represent about 10% of patients …

Infected ovarian endometrioma: Case series and management outcomes.

Establishment of a Novel In Vitro and In Vivo Model to Understand Molecular Carcinogenesis of Endometriosis-Related Ovarian Neoplasms.

The molecular mechanisms through which endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms (ERONs) develop from benign endometrioma remain unclear. It is especially a long-standing mystery why ovarian endometrioma has the potential to develop into …

The effect of combined oral contraceptive pills on angiogenesis in endometriotic lesions.

Neoangiogenesis is necessary for adhesion and invasion of endometriotic lesions. We hypothesize that by blocking angiogenetic pathways we can suppress endometriosis. Oral contraceptive pills (OCs) are routinely used in endometriosis …

Endometriosis in Adolescents: A Closer Look at the Pain Characteristics and Atypical Symptoms: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and about 47% of adolescents with pelvic pain. Symptoms include dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Adolescents often …

Expression of E-CADHERIN and miR-200b in Different Forms of Endometriosis.

Background/Objectives: Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is the process by which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal properties, which helps endometriotic cells migrate and invade. This study looks at the expression of E-CADHERIN, a …
