Targeted next-generation sequencing for the detection of cancer-associated somatic mutations in adenomyosis
Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology : the journal of the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology ·doi:10.1080/01443615.2022.2161352

Adenomyosis is a condition characterised by the invasion of endometrial tissues into the uterine myometrium, the molecular pathogenesis of which remains incompletely elucidated. Lesion profiling with next-generation sequencing (NGS) can lea…

Molecular evidence for a clonal relationship between synchronous uterine endometrioid carcinoma and ovarian clear cell carcinoma: a new example of "precursor escape"?
Journal of molecular medicine (Berlin, Germany) ·doi:10.1007/s00109-021-02064-4

Synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas (SEOCs) that share the same endometrioid histology are generally considered as the result of metastatic spread from one organ to another. However, SEOCs with different histologies are regarded …

Serum levels of alpha1-antitrypsin isoforms in patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma: An exploratory study
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA ·doi:10.1097/JCMA.0000000000000604

BACKGROUND: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is frequently associated with endometriosis. Since serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) have limited diagnostic and prognostic value in this malignancy, there is an unmet need for reliab…

Comprehensive genomic profiling reveals ubiquitous KRAS mutations and frequent PIK3CA mutations in ovarian seromucinous borderline tumor
Modern pathology : an official journal of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc ·doi:10.1038/s41379-020-0611-3

The molecular underpinnings of seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT) - an uncommon ovarian epithelial neoplasm characterized by association with endometriosis, frequent bilateral ovarian involvement, and occasional progression to invasive ca…

Associations between a single nucleotide polymorphism of stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 and endometriosis/adenomyosis
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2018.03.001

OBJECTIVE: We have recently reported that stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) is over-expressed in endometriosis/adenomyosis tissues. STIP1 may also be involved in immune regulation, thus we attempted to study the association between ST…

article 2018
Positive associations between upregulated levels of stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in endometriosis/adenomyosis
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0190573

Stress-induced phosphoprotein-1 (STIP1), an adaptor protein that coordinates the functions of HSP70 and HSP90 in protein folding, has been implicated in the development of human gynecologic malignancies. This case-control study investigates…

article 2012
Functional Analyses of Endometriosis-Related Polymorphisms in the Estrogen Synthesis and Metabolism-Related Genes
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0047374

Endometriosis is determined by genetic factors, and the prevalence of genetic polymorphisms varies greatly depending on the ethnic group studied. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide poly…

article 2010
A mutant single nucleotide polymorphism of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor is associated with a lower risk of endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.07.1092
article 2010
Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy of endometriomas: surgeons’ experience may affect ovarian reserve and live-born rate in infertile patients with in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2010.05.016
case-report 2009
Challenge in the management of endometriosis in the canal of Nuck
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.07.1713

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of endometriosis located at an unusual site in the canal of Nuck. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. PATIENT(S): A 35-year-old woman with no pr…

case-report 2008
Transurethral partial cystectomy and laparoscopic reconstruction for the management of bladder endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.04.045

OBJECTIVE: To report the successful management of bladder endometriosis with laparoscopic and transurethral partial cystectomy. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary-care university hospital. PATIENT(S): A 36-year-old woman with bladder…
