ObjectiveTo determine if CA 125, a product of human endometrium, may be an indicator of early endometrial function. To test this hypothesis we examined CA 125 concentrations before oocyte retrieval in IVF cycles.DesignRetrospective data ana…

ObjectiveTo extend and confirm earlier observations that serial CA-125 determinations appear to have prognostic value in some infertile women with surgically treated endometriosis using a new automated enzyme immunoassay.DesignA prospective…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of serum from infertile women with endometriosis on fertilization and embryonic development in a murine IVF model.DesignPretreatment and post-treatment comparison of murine oocyte fertilization and early embr…

To evaluate the potential use of CA 125 concentrations in monitoring women with endometriosis, serial determinations were correlated with the clinical course of the disease and pregnancy rates. Preoperative CA 125 concentrations were obtain…

A nonlinear standard curve for the immunoradiometric method for determining CA-125 may result in an overestimation of values below 20 U/ml. Since the modification of the assay as described in the report eliminates the problem, we propose th…

The serum CA-125 level is elevated in most women with endometriosis. Although tests are readily available to measure the marker, simple modifications of the present assays are required to improve and standardize the quality of the measureme…

Since serum CA-125 concentrations are increased in women with endometriosis, the authors evaluated CA-125 levels to determine whether this serum test would be useful in differentiating between pelvic pain due to endometriosis and other caus…

1988
A single human chorionic gonadotropin determination was performed in 786 infertile women during the late luteal phase to determine the frequencies of preclinical abortions and whether the frequency was increased in women with endometriosis.…

1988
Pregnancy outcomes were evaluated retrospectively in 350 women to investigate the relationship between endometriosis and spontaneous abortions. The frequency of spontaneous abortions in women with endometriosis was significantly higher than…
article
1987
Serum CA-125 antigen levels were measured by radioimmunoassay before and during menses in women with and without endometriosis. Mean CA-125 levels were significantly increased in both groups during menses. Samples obtained during menses rep…

Because serum CA-125 concentrations are increased in women with endometriosis, our objective was to determine whether CA-125 levels could be used to differentiate endometriotic from nonendometriotic benign cysts. During a 2-year period, all…

CA-125, a cell-surface antigen, was measured by a radioimmunoassay in the serum of 414 women to determine its potential usefulness in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. In women with minimal, mild, moderate, and severe endometri…

High-volume intravenous urography was performed in 63 women with surgically proven endometriosis. Subtle abnormalities were found in 15.9% of these women. No patient had urologic symptoms, and there was no evidence of hydroureter or uretera…

1985
The usefulness of a short-interval second-look laparoscopy (SLL) after ovarian surgery was examined. In 23 infertile women who had either bilateral wedge resection (BWR) of polycystic ovaries, an oophorocystectomy (OC), or resection of endo…

More than 100 years after the first description of endometriosis, the pathophysiology of the disorder still remains an enigma. In addition to infertility, an increased frequency of clinically apparent spontaneous abortions (32% vs. 8-15% in…

To address the question of when to perform an appendectomy in the surgical treatment of endometriosis, a series of 500 consecutive appendectomies was reviewed. In 104 patients with pelvic endometriosis who were undergoing appendectomy, the …
