Diaphragmatic endometriosis: a practical radiologic guide to diagnosis, mapping, and multidisciplinary surgical planning.

Diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE) is a frequently underdiagnosed manifestation of deep endometriosis (DE), typically occurring in patients with advanced pelvic disease. Accurate preoperative detection remains challenging, as standard laparoscopy may overlook …

MRI-based morphology of ovarian clear cell carcinomas.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer characterized by unique biological behavior and heterogeneous clinicopathological features. In contrast with other epithelial ovarian malignancies, …

The hypoxia-epigenetics-ncRNA axis in endometriosis: from molecular cascades to self-sustaining pathogenic circuits.

Endometriosis is a debilitating chronic inflammatory disorder driven by extensive molecular reprogramming. Despite significant bench research into its pathogenesis, translating these molecular discoveries into clinical practices that improve patient outcomes …
