Background/Aims: To identify the role of serum caspase 3, Annexin A2 (ANXA2), and Soluble Fas Ligand (sFasL) levels in the prediction of endometriosis severity. Methods: The study was performed on 90 women who were candidates for laparoscop…
In gynecology, the serum CA125 and CA19-9 levels are elevated in patients with malignant and benign conditions especially in ovarian tumors. Although endometriosis is a benign condition, increased levels of the tumor markers CA125 and CA19-…
