This paper is a research-topic call describing the state of knowledge and research priorities for endometriosis, focusing on pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. It outlines clinical approaches such as transvaginal ultrasonography as first-line imaging, MRI/virtual colonoscopy for suspected bowel or urinary tract disease, hormonal therapy as first-line pain treatment (with combined estroprogestins/progestins and second-line GnRH analogues/antagonists), and mentions aromatase inhibitors as proposed but not approved outside scientific research; it also notes that hormonal therapy is not curative and symptoms often recur after stopping. Surgical excision is described as an option for persistent pain or refusal of hormonal therapies, with the caveat that procedures are challenging and recurrence can occur, and it states that infertility is usually treated with in vitro fertilization while the role of pre-treatment hormonal therapy is unclear. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it serves as a Frontiers in Endocrinology Research Topic overview on endometriosis pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract

it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed.The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge.Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing.All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community.At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians.Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews.Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view.By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation.
