This chapter reviews the then-current thinking across major areas of endometriosis and then shifts to speculative discussion about where advances in understanding and treatment might occur over the next five to ten years. The authors describe their perspective as a combination of views from both the United States and Europe, focusing broadly on research and treatment rather than presenting new data. The chapter’s primary limitation is that it is explicitly not based on controlled references and data, instead relying on speculation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a forward-looking review chapter discussing prospective directions for endometriosis research and treatment.

Abstract

It has been the aim of this book to provide a review of current thinking in all the major areas of endometriosis. The authors have responded excellently to their task. It is now our great pleasure to leave the discipline of writing chapters that are controlled by references and data and simply speculate on where advances in our understanding and treatment of this disease may occur over the next five to ten years. This chapter will be a combination of both our views and should give the perspective from both the United States and Europe. The main areas that we will discuss will be research and treatment.
