Endometriosis is a common type of chronic inflammatory disease with an immunological background. In this review, we aimed to explore the contemporary literature on the infection and sterile inflammation that support the pathogenesis of endo…
BACKGROUND: The roles of molecular alteration such as genomic instability and cell survival are debated aspects of the pathogenesis of endometriosis. To review the contemporary literature on potential factors and their signaling pathways th…
The association between endometriosis and malignant transformation has often been described in the medical literature. A search was conducted between 1966 and 2010 through the English language literature (online Medline PubMed database) usi…
Two histologic types, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC), are the common histology in ovarian cancer patients who have associated endometriosis. However, both tumor types have distinct clinicopathological chara…
Inflammation plays a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinogenesis might be promoted through oxidative stress-induced increased genomic instability, aberrant methylation, and aberrant chromatin r…
The histogenesis of endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer is one of the most mysterious aspects of pathology. To better understand the histogenesis of endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer, we analyze…
Recent data have provided information regarding the profiles of clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCC) with adenine-thymine rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) mutations. The purpose of this review was to summarize current knowledge regard…
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common cause of gynecological cancer-related mortality. Clear cell EOC (cEOC) has a number of clinical features distinguishing it from other EOC because of frequent concurrence of endometriosis an…
BACKGROUND: Various theories try to explain the development and progression of endometriosis, however, no single theory can explain all aspects of this disorder. Gene expression profiling studies might reveal factors that explain variabilit…
Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of women in the reproductive-age group. Here, we review current knowledge on molecular genesis of endometriosis-associated epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). This article reviews the English language …
PurposeEndometriosis and endometriotic ovarian cysts are common gynecologic diseases. Excision of the cyst wall by laparotomy or laparoscopy is the standard treatment for endometriotic ovarian cysts. However, some young patients with cysts …
