An autoimmune etiology has been suggested for endometriosis mostly on the basis of an increased prevalence of autoimmune diseases in affected women. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA) 4 gene is recognized as a primary determinant for aut…

Endometriosis is a benign gynaecologic disease that is associated with a certain risk for malignant degeneration. The disease has a genetic background, but the locations of possible genomic aberrations are still poorly clarified. In this co…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a steroid-dependent disease with a particular genetic background, but the locations of possible genomic aberrations are still poorly clarified. We have investigated the potential association between endometriosis…

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested recently that deep endometriosis and the other forms of the disease do not share a common pathogenetic mechanism. In this study, we hypothesize that, if this is true, deep peritoneal endometriosis and the o…

Symptomatic women with stage III to IV endometriosis today are most often managed by conservative laparoscopic surgery, but recurrences continue to occur. Roughly one in five patients will have further disease within 5 years after complete …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hypothesis that soluble intercellular adhesions molecule-1 (sICAM-1) may be used as a new serum marker of endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: An academic department specializing in gynec…

Follicular fluid from women with endometriosis has been shown to induce a higher endometrial cell proliferation than that derived from women without the disease. To elucidate this issue further, the aims of the present study were to compare…

BACKGROUND: It is still unclear whether the immunologic perturbation observed in women with endometriosis represents an intrinsic defect of the immune system or it is consequent to the presence of endometrium in ectopic sites. The present s…

BACKGROUND: In order to decrease endometriosis recurrence after surgical therapy, it has been proposed to use a post-surgical oestrogen-lowering medical treatment. Results from previous trials on this topic are contradictory. METHODS: A to…

PROBLEM: It has been suggested that specific mechanisms commonly used by different cellular systems to evade immunologic recognition are involved in the development of endometriosis. To gain insight into this aspect, we looked at the relati…

The effect of treatment with danazol was evaluated with respect to expectant management after laparoscopic conservative surgery. All patients conservatively operated at laparoscopy for stage III-IV endometriosis from July 1994 to October 19…

The objective of this study was to clarify which is the better surgical conservative treatment for recurrent endometriosis. We compared two consecutive surgical series at a tertiary care centre for the cure of endometriosis. The patients we…

PROBLEM: Development and progression of endometriosis have been suggested to be related to a defect of NK cells in the ability to eliminate endometrial fragments regurgitated with menstrual debris in ectopic sites. However, it has not been …
