Endometriosis may become malignant, and its diagnosis is challenging, especially in rare extra-ovarian sites like the rectum. Here, we describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with intermittent left lower abdominal discomfort …

The causes of implantation failure remain a black box in reproductive medicine. The exact mechanism behind the regulation of endometrial receptivity is still unknown. Epigenetic modifications influence gene expression patterns and may alter…

Window of implantation (WOI) genes have been comprehensively identified at the single cell level. DNA methylation changes in cervical secretions are associated with in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) outcomes. Using a machine l…

BACKGROUND: We describe a DNA methylation assay, named MPap test, using cervical scraping as an alternative technique for endometrial cancer detection. METHODS: A multicenter hospital-based, two-stage validation study was conducted to vali…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer is a common gynecologic cancer. Noninvasive molecular biomarkers for triage of high-risk patients for invasive procedures are needed. Based on the success of cytological Pap smear screening, cervical scrapings…

OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that DNA methylation of development-related genes may occur in endometrial cancer (EC)/ovarian cancer (OC) and may be detected in cervical scrapings. METHODS: We tested methylation status by quantitative methylat…
