BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects around 15% of postmenopausal women in China. Although it has been widely accepted that genetic variants could confer risk for POP, the genetic susceptibility variants remain largely unknown. P…
Abstract Background Abnormal FTO expression causes faulty m6A modifications in mRNA and affects tumor progression. However, the expression and function of FTO in endometrial cancer (EC) and the genes regulated by FTO remain unclear.Methods…

Pelvic mass onset following a hysterectomy due to benign disease is not rarely seen. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment are of great importance.This study aims to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients who have received surge…
Little is known about the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC) coexisting with or arising in adenomyosis (EEC-A or EEC-AIA) due to their rarity. This study compared EEC-A and EE…
Abstract Background: Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disease in which a functioning endometrial tissue is observed in the pleura, lung parenchyma, airways, or diaphragm. The optimal management of this disease remains a matte…

BACKGROUND: Dienogest provided significantly greater reduction in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP) than placebo in a 24-week, randomized, double-blind study of Chinese women with endometriosis. The current open-label extension st…
OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of subsequent pelvic masses after hysterectomy for benign diseases, and to compare the masses following hysterectomy with or without simultaneous bilateral salpingectomy. METHO…
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder and due to a lack of non-invasive detection methods, it can take up to 12 years before an affected woman obtains a diagnosis and receives appropriate treatment. Therefore, the identification of…
RATIONALE: The purpose of this case report was to raise awareness regarding endometriosis on the surface of the uterus mimicking malignant tumor and thus manage it accurately. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 40-year-old Asian woman with a 2-year histo…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disease in women of reproductive age. These patients in approximately 80% suffer the various degree pain. This study will investigate synergistically the mechanism of the higher-posit…
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a non-invasive sampling method by collecting menstrual blood and obtaining endometrium for further research in menstruation-related diseases. Methods: On the second day of menstruation, menstrual…
Endometriosis is associated with changes in long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA expression, but the exact changes during the implantation window are unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles i…
BACKGROUND: We report an extremely rare case of vaginal clear cell carcinoma, which originated from the malignant transformation of vaginal adenosis without prenatal diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case, the p…
To the Editor: Endometriosis refers to the endometrial tissue (interstitial substance and gland) with growth function occurring in the uterine lining of uterine cavity and the places outside myometrium. It often leads to pain, infertility, …
Endometriosis-associated pain afflicts an enormous number of women who suffer from endometriosis. There is an urgent need to explore the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated pain to identify targets for treatment of hyperalgesia. A sear…
INTRODUCTION: Little is known about the prevalence and prognosis of synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas. This report explores the survival outcomes of synchronous stage IA endometrioid endometrial and stage IA ovarian carcinomas …
OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term effects of using the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) to treat symptomatic adenomyosis. METHOD: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted among 1100 women who received the LN…
BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women. Due to a lacking of early detection method, its five-year survival rate is only 30%. Nevertheless, novel biomarkers for diagnosis remain to…
