Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a particular clinical and histological entity of endometriosis responsible for chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Here we characterize the proliferative phenotype of DIE cells, to explore the cellu…
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of antiproliferative drugs (anastrozole, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil [5-FU]) on the proliferation of endometriotic cells in vitro and in vivo.DesignEx vivo study on human endometrial and endometrioti…
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is characterized by chronic pain, hyperproliferation of endometriotic cells and fibrosis. Since cannabinoids are endowed with antiproliferative and antifibrotic properties, in addition to their psychoge…
Endometriosis affects 6-10% of women in their reproductive years, causing chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Its pathogenesis remains poorly understood and current treatments, based on hormonal therapy or surgery, are often insufficient. …
ObjectiveTo investigate whether the clinical history, particularly of the adolescence period, contains markers of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignCross-sectional study.SettingUniversitary tertiary referral center.Patient(s)Two…
Le but de notre travail etait d'evaluer le role des formes reactives de l'oxygene dans la physiopathologie de Tendometriose. Notre travail montre que, comparees aux cellules endometriales normales de patientes temoins, les cellules endometr…
Smoking habits did not influence either the risk of any form of endometriosis (superficial peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriomas, and deep infiltrating endometriosis) and did not correlate with the revised American Fertility Socie…
Endometriosis is associated with chronic inflammation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are proinflammatory mediators that modulate cell proliferation. We have investigated whether the dysregulation of ROS production in endometriotic cells…
