The article discusses how advances in molecular biology enabling comprehensive gene identification and characterization of genomic and nongenomic actions can reshape understanding of benign gynecologic diseases. It reviews molecular background and altered perspectives for endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine tumors, positioning this knowledge as a foundation for new causal and individually tailored therapy options. A key caveat stated by the authors is that they performed no human or animal studies for this contribution, so the piece is not original experimental research. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis only insofar as it uses them as key examples within a broader review of molecular pathology in benign gynecologic diseases.

Zusammenfassung Seit die molekularbiologische Labortechnologie in der Lage ist, sämtliche Gene zu identifizieren und ihre genomischen und nichtgenomischen Aktionen in den einzelnen zellulären Mechanismen zu charakterisieren, erschließt sich ein neues, bisweilen völlig anderes Krankheitsverständnis. Die Kenntnis der exakten Hintergründe einer Erkrankung ermöglicht eine andere Sichtweise und bereitet das Feld für neue ursächliche und individuell maßgeschneiderte Therapieoptionen. Die veränderte Sichtweise und die molekularen Hintergründe benigner gynäkologischer Erkrankungen sollen hier erörtert werden, am Beispiel von Endometriose, Adenomyose und uterinen Tumoren. Abstract Ever since molecular laboratory technology has been able to identify all genes and to characterize their specific genomic and nongenomic modes of action in the individual cellular mechanisms, a completely new understanding of diseases has become possible. Knowledge of the exact background of a disease enables another viewpoint and prepares the field for new causal and individually tailored treatment options. The altered viewpoint and the molecular background of benign gynecological diseases are discussed in this article, particularly with respect to endometriosis, adenomyosis and uterine tumors.
