Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increase MRP4 expression in an endometriotic epithelial cell line in a PPARa dependent manner.
European review for medical and pharmacological sciences ·doi:10.26355/eurrev_201812_16549

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a debilitating disease characterized by chronic inflammation. The transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4) is expressed in human endometrial tissue; it is overexpressed in ectopic endome…

Is CA72-4 a Useful Biomarker in Differential Diagnosis between Ovarian Endometrioma and Epithelial Ovarian Cancer?
Disease markers ·doi:10.1155/2013/984641

BACKGROUND: Surgical excision of ovarian endometriomas in patients desiring pregnancy has recently been criticized because of the risk of damage to healthy ovarian tissue and consequent reduction of ovarian reserve. A correct diagnosis in c…

The use of HE4, CA125 and CA72-4 biomarkers for differential diagnosis between ovarian endometrioma and epithelial ovarian cancer
Journal of ovarian research ·doi:10.1186/1757-2215-6-44

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is frequently associated with high levels of CA125. This marker is therefore not useful for discriminating ovarian endometrioma from ovarian malignancy. The aim of this study was to establish a panel of complementa…

HE4 in the differential diagnosis of a pelvic mass: a case report
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms12010627

Neoplasms of the ovary present an increasing challenge to the physician. Neoplastic ovarian cysts can resemble endometriomas in ultrasound imaging and need to be carefully considered in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of a wo…
