Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body. It affects roughly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, often causing severe pelvic pain and infertility. Despite how c…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the heterogeneity of somatic cancer-driver mutations within patients and across endometriosis types. DESIGN: A single-center cohort, retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary specialist-care center at a university h…
Abstract Endometriosis symptoms are heterogeneous with controversy on whether it constitutes a single disease or multiple distinct types. Our previous work found recurrent somatic cancer-driver alterations in endometriosis; however, these h…
Mesonephric carcinoma is a rare gynecologic neoplasm commonly mistaken for clear cell carcinoma, because of their overlapping morphologic features. Both tumors are negative for estrogen receptor and p16, magnifying this diagnostic dilemma. …
Abstract The presence of somatic driver mutations in endometriosis has previously been believed to represent early events in transformation, however our group and others have described such mutations in roughly one-third of cases of deep in…
STUDY QUESTION: Does incisional endometriosis (IE) harbor somatic cancer-driver mutations? SUMMARY ANSWER: We found that approximately one-quarter of IE cases harbor somatic-cancer mutations, which commonly affect components of the MAPK/RAS…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial stroma and epithelium, affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women and can cause pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriotic lesions are considered to be benig…
Endometrial epithelium is the presumed tissue of origin for both eutopic and endometriosis-derived clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas. We had previously hypothesized that the morphological, biological and clinical differences between th…
ObjectiveEndometrioid (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) share a common precursor lesion, endometriosis, hence the designation endometriosis associated ovarian cancers (EAOC). Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1 or L1), …
