Endometriosis describes a condition with the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma outside the endometrial cavity that affects up to 15% of reproductive-aged women. Of women affected with endometriosis, 3.8-37% will have endomet…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is estimated to affect 10% of reproductive-aged women. The gold standard for treatment is surgery; however, surgery carries a significant morbidity and cost burden. There is an ongoing need for safe, effective me…

Endometriosis is a female disease which is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and is dependent on estrogen for its survival in these ectopic locations. Expression of the ribosomal protein large P1 (RPLP1) is associated wi…
INTRODUCTION: Few studies have examined the differing natural histories and quality of life in women with endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain (EACPP) versus other chronic pelvic pain (OCPP) in the years following surgery. In this s…
Reproductive surgery for proximal and distal tubal occlusion, as well as for reversal of tubal ligation, may be an alternative or an adjunct to IVF. Surgery for adenomyosis and endometriosis, including endometriomas, may be considered for t…
Infertility affects 30% to 50% of women with endometriosis. Women with endometriosis are at risk of decreased ovarian reserve, both because of the pathophysiology of the disease and iatrogenic injury resulting from surgical intervention. Fe…
Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition in which endometrial tissue grows in ectopic locations. Survival and growth of these ectopic lesions is associated with pain and infertility. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been postulated to play a role …
Importance Endometriomas are a unique and complex representation of the classic phenotypes of endometriosis. Associated symptoms, high recurrence rate, and multimodal approach represent ongoing challenges in the management of this chronic d…
Endometriosis is a common and challenging condition of reproductive-aged women that carries a high individual and societal cost. The many molecular dissimilarities between endometriosis lesions and eutopic endometrium create difficulties in…

CD74 is the primary receptor for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Although expression of MIF has been described in endometriotic lesions, the cellular localization and function of the MIF receptor, CD74, are poorly understood. …
Endometriosis is a common condition that affects 6-10% of reproductive age women. The surgical management may be excisional versus ablative surgery. Cystectomies remain first line of treatment as they provide better pain relief, reduced rec…
