Endometriosis is the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus and can take many forms that include superficial peritoneal lesions, cysts in the ovaries known as endometriomas, and deep endometriosis penetrating at least 5 mm i…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that is characterized by pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Despite varied treatment modalities, a high proportion of individuals experience debilitating symptoms and develop comorbid pain con…

Given the complexities and controversies that exist in diagnosing adult endometriosis, as well as optimizing medical and surgical management, it is not surprising that there is even more ambiguity and inconsistency in the optimal surgical c…

AbstractPurpose: Mechanisms of immune dysregulation associated with advanced tumors are relatively well understood. Much less is known about the role of immune effectors against cancer precursor lesions. Endometrioid and clear-cell ovarian …

AbstractPurpose: Endometriosis, a largely benign, chronic inflammatory disease, is an independent risk factor for endometrioid and clear cell epithelial ovarian tumors. We aimed to identify plasma miRNAs that can be used to differentiate pa…
