INTRODUCTION: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a less-invasive alternative for hysterectomy in therapy-resistant symptomatic adenomyosis. Comparative data are lacking. Our objective is to evaluate the non-inferiority of UAE compared wit…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate uterine contractility in patients with adenomyosis compared with healthy controls using a quantitative two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) speckle tracking method. DESIGN: A multicenter prospective observa…
ObjectivesVaginal assisted Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) combines the benefits of vaginal and endoscopic surgery. This study presents the results of the first vaginal assisted NOTES hysterectomies (VANH) in The Net…
BackgroundHysteroscopic resection is the first-choice treatment for symptomatic type 0 and 1 fibroids. Traditionally, this was performed under general anesthesia. Over the last decade, surgical procedures are increasingly being performed in…
ObjectiveTo assess the incidence of ovarian cancer in women with histologically proven endometriosis after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO).DesignRetrospective nationwide cohort study.SettingDutch pathology database.Patient(s)Women wit…
Women with histologically proven endometriosis/adenomyosis have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Small studies show conflicting results on the endometrial cancer risk in women with endometriosis/adenomyosis. Therefore, we assessed the i…
We aim to compare endometrial cancer survival in women with or without histological proven endometriosis or adenomyosis. We identified all women with endometrial cancer between 1990 and 2015 from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). Data …

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of adenomyosis is considered the most accurate non-invasive technique, but remains subjective, with no consensus on which diagnostic parameters are most accurate. We aimed to systemat…
BackgroundSeveral studies have suggested that endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, especially for the clear-cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, previous studies lack sufficient power or diagnostic certa…
BackgroundContradicting results regarding ovarian cancer prognosis in women with endometriosis have been reported in the literature. Owing to the small sample size of previous studies, larger studies are required to elucidate the role of en…
