Background and Objectives: Endometriosis, a complex and often underdiagnosed gynecological condition, frequently manifests with ovarian involvement, posing significant clinical challenges. Current diagnostic protocols primarily rely on inva…

BMI-1 is a key component of stem cells, which are essential for normal organ development and cell phenotype maintenance. BMI-1 expression is deregulated in cancer, resulting in the alteration of chromatin and gene transcription repression. …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign estrogen-dependent gynecological disease involving components of the female genital tract (uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, large, round, and utero-sacral ligaments) and intra- and extraperitoneal regi…

Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma has an overall good prognosis. However, variable five-year survival rates (92%-42%) have been reported in FIGO stage I, suggesting the involvement of other factors related to tumor biological behavior. The…

Firstly described at the end of nineteenth century, endometriosis remains an enigmatic disease, from etio-pathogenesis to specific markers of diagnosis and its ability to associate with malignancies. Our review has been designed from a hist…

Objective: Endometriosis association with cancers is strongly supported by epidemiological criteria and shared protective factors, being identified as endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma (EOC). In this context, our study objective ha…

Endometriosis represents a complex entity, characterized by tissue located in ectopic sites, outside uterus, with the highest incidence in ovaries and peritoneum. We report a rare case, with multiple endometriotic foci, in a 34 year old wom…

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have a great variability that provides a complex intervention in pathophysiological conditions. MMPs roles in pathology may be grouped into the following main types: (1) tissue destruction, as in cancer inva…
