The aim of this study is to investigate cancer survival parameters in patients with a combination of adenomyosis and endometrial carcinoma in pathological specimens. This is a retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary health center…

Endometriosis is a common problem affecting 5-10% of women of childbearing age. It is a condition with unknown pathology, leaving us with several theories. However, about half of women with endometriosis complain of difficulty conceiving. T…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease of the female reproductive system, which is characterised by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus especially in the pelvic cavity that includes ovaries, fallopian tubes and it may occur ex…

Endometriosis is associated with dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea and often severe pelvic pain as well as considered a chronic inflammatory disease, defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. An important general con…

Women with endometriosis frequently suffer from autoimmune inflammatory diseases, allergies and asthma. This study was conducted to examine whether the prevalence of allergies is higher in patients with endometriosis than in the control gro…

PURPOSE: Women with endometriosis have been reported to be at increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The purpose of this article was to investigate the familial risk of NHL in women with endometriosis. We report on 10 ca…

The aim of this study is to report three cases of patients with endometriosis and infertility, and associated with Lyme disease. The medical files of 405 women with endometriosis and 200 without endometriosis were studied retrospectively. W…

Age, BMI, lifestyle, menstrual status and obstetric history can modulate the endocrine system and, therefore, have been hypothesised to play a role in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) outcome. We designed a retrospective study, set in a medical…

BACKGROUND: Ezrin protein and its activated form phospho-ezrin play a role in cell morphology, motility and adhesiveness. In this study, we hypothesized that these proteins play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by promoting adhes…

BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis who are treated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) have a lower pregnancy rate compared to women with tubal factor infertility. It has been suggested that the ad…

Endometriosis is classically described as the presence of both endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside the uterine cavity, mainly in the pelvis. The pathogenesis of this enigmatic disorder still remains controversial despite extensi…

The preponderance of recent data suggests that endometriosis does not adversely affect in-vitro fertilization pregnancy rates. However, many studies demonstrate impaired oocyte quality, decreased fertilization, and compromised implantation …

Clinical observations indicate that an implantation defect occurs in women with endometriosis. Despite intense research, the role of alterations in endometrial receptivity and the peritoneal fluid microenvironment in the derangement of impl…

HOXA10 and HOXA11 are homeobox genes that function as transcription factors essential to embryonic development. We have recently described a role for each of these two genes in regulating endometrial development in the adult during the cour…

Concentrations of interleukin (IL)-8, a potent chemotactic factor produced by many cell types, are elevated in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. We investigated whether endometrial stromal cell (ESC) adhesion induces the exp…

One of the most puzzling problems of endometriosis is determining which mechanisms link this spectrum of conditions to infertility. There is conflicting evidence about the effect of endometriosis on the endometrium and on oocyte/embryo qual…

Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) interactions play a significant role in the immune privilege status of certain cell populations, and several cytokines and growth factors can modulate their expression. When a FasL-expressing cell binds a Fas-bearing i…

Shed menstrual endometrium is viable and has the ability to implant and grow in women, who eventually develop endometriosis. Many of the cell-to-cell or cell-to-extracellular matrix (ECM) connections are mediated by integrins. Monocyte chem…

Endometriosis, one of the most prevalent gynaecological disorders, may affect fertility. Extensive research has been done in an attempt to understand the pathogenesis of endometriosis and its association with reproductive failure. It has be…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) on preimplantation embryos and to evaluate the levels of basic FGF in follicular and peritoneal fluid. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University-based laborat…

The peritoneal environment in endometriosis is known to have growth-promoting effects on endometrial cells. To investigate whether follicular fluid, a contributor to the peritoneal fluid, stimulates endometrial cell proliferation, we incuba…
