Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer subtype. Somatic mutations in OCCC are reported in ARID1A, PIK3CA, and the TERT promoter (TERTp), as well as less commonly …
Endometriosis is a benign yet invasive disease characterized by ectopic endometrial growth and immune remodeling. While emerging evidence implicates cellular senescence in disease progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. …

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 …
Scientists Develop a New Patient-Derived Organoid Model for Studying Endometriosis Subtypes Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Endometriosis involves ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus, commonly in the pelvis but sometimes affecting organs like the urinary tract, gastrointestinal system, and respiratory tract. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is …
Fibrosis, angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are the intrinsic characteristics of endometriosis. It is accompanied by significant changes in the cell composition of both ectopic and eutopic endometrial tissues, occurring both …
Epithelial ovarian carcinoma is a common gynecologic malignancy. Evidence from several studies suggests that subtypes of this cancer-specifically clear-cell ovarian carcinoma and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (ENOC)-are associated with endometriosis. FBXW7 …
Previous studies suggested that irregular sleep-wake rhythms increased the risk of endometriosis. Mechanistically, sleep pattern dysregulation may promote the pathogenesis of endometriosis via neuroendocrine disturbances. However, the causal relationship between …
