Endocrine disruptors, such as dioxin, are considered to affect the development of endometriosis. Various studies have been done to find an association between dioxin and endometriosis, but the results are conflicting. Hence, this study aims to systematically review existing epidemiological studies on exposure to dioxin and the development of endometriosis. - Kennedy S, Bergqvist A, Chapron C, D'Hooghe T, Dunselman G, Greb R, et al.
