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…

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.…

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…

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…

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 …
