CONTEXT: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition characterized by an important inflammatory process mediated by the prostaglandin pathway. Oral contraceptives are the treatment of choice for symptomatic endometriotic women. However …
BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common gynaecological benign tumors in premenopausal women. Evidences support the role of oxidative stress in the development of uterine leiomyoma. We have analysed oxidative stress mar…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-10 family ILs in women with ovarian endometriosis and investigate the correlation of these levels with disease activity. DESIGN: A case-control laboratory study. SETTING: Tertia…
Endometriosis is considered as a tumor-like lesion under the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of ovarian tumors. Data from large cohort and case-control studies indicate that patients with a history of endometriosis have an in…
STUDY QUESTION: Are interleukin-33 (IL-33) serum levels higher in women with uterine leiomyoma compared with controls without leiomyoma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Serum IL-33 is elevated in women with uterine leiomyoma and correlated with features o…
The surgical management of presumed benign ovarian tumors (PBOT) must ensure complete removal of the cyst, reduce the risk of recurrence (especially in case of endometrioma), prevent any risk of tumor dissemination, and must preserve health…
Endometrioma is a common ovarian cyst associated with pain and infertility, but its pathogenesis remains enigmatic. Demonstration of the subtelomeric location of hypermethylation in endometrioma has been reported by genome-wide profiling of…
STUDY QUESTION: Are anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels lower in women with endometriosis, notably those with endometriomas (OMAs) and deep infiltrating lesions, compared with controls without endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Endometriosis an…
Introduction: Endometriosis, histologically defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue - glands and stroma - that develops outside of the uterine cavity, is still an enigmatic disease responsible for pelvic pain and infertility. The…
Cytokines, and specifically interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8), have been associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We studied serum concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) …
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of severe preoperative pain for patients presenting with ovarian endometrioma (OMA). METHODS: Three hundred consecutive patients with histologically proven OMA were en…
Recurrence of deep endometriosis remains a major issue in the management of endometriosis. The main cause for recurrence appears to be an incomplete excisional surgery. Therefore, the goal of the primary surgery should be the complete resec…
BACKGROUND: Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a cytokine involved in fibrotic disorders. We have analyzed IL-33 levels in the sera and peritoneal fluids of women with various forms of endometriosis and investigated the correlation with disease acti…
ObjectiveTo investigate key genes expression of the sphingosine-1-phosphate pathway in endometriotic tissues.DesignA case-control laboratory study.SettingTertiary care university hospital.Patient(s)A total of 31 women, with (n = 16) and wit…
BACKGROUND: An inverse association between BMI and endometriosis has been reported but remains controversial. We decided to evaluate the association between BMI and the different types of endometriosis, classified as superficial endometrios…
BACKGROUND: The relationship between the use of oral contraception (OC) and endometriosis remains controversial. We therefore compared various characteristics of OC use and the surgical diagnosis of endometriosis histologically graded as su…
Study objectiveTo estimate the association between urinary symptoms and quality of life in patients with posterior deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with anatomical locations of endometriosis.DesignProspective nonrandomized study (Canad…
Several lines of evidence indicate that endometriosis could be partially due to selective epigenetic deregulations. Promoter hypermethylation of some key genes, such as progesterone receptor and aromatase, has been associated with the silen…
