This book volume examines uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, integrating basic science and clinical perspectives across topics such as histopathology, molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of uterine fibroids, including how adenomyosis may affect pregnancy. The editors attribute ongoing gaps in understanding to that pathogenesis remains poorly resolved and may involve both genetic and environmental factors, while highlighting that advances in genomics and molecular biology have improved knowledge of mechanisms. The major limitation stated is that the underlying cause and development of these tumors are still not fully understood. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis (and uterine fibroids) through a state-of-the-art synthesis of adenomyosis pathogenesis and clinical implications, including pregnancy complications.

Overview - Broadens understanding of uterine fibroids in both the basic and clinical aspects - Elaborates on genetics of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis - Sheds light on the treatment of uterine fibroids based on the basic knowledge Part of the book series: Comprehensive Gynecology and Obstetrics (CGO) Access this book Tax calculation will be finalised at checkout Other ways to access About this book This volume elucidates state-of-the-art findings of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, incorporating expert basic knowledge. Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis are common uterine tumors in reproductive-age women. However, the pathogenesis of the tumors is still poorly understood, and both genetic and environmental factors may be involved in their generation or development. Recent research on the genomics and molecular biology of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis has facilitated a better understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of these benign tumors. Renowned experts provide detailed discussions of basic research and clinical aspects of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis in this book, from histopathology and molecular pathogenesis to diagnosis and the latest treatment of uterine fibroids, including pregnancy complications of adenomyosis. A great deal of information and a deep understanding of molecular and genetic biology have led to development of more innovative treatments of these tumors. Thus this book benefits not only oncologists, seasoned gynecologists, and obstetricians, but also molecular biologists and other basic researchers who are involved in the treatment of uterine fibroids.Similar content being viewed by others Table of contents (12 chapters) Editors and Affiliations About the editor Dr. Norihiro Sugino, Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yamaguchi University School of Medicine, Ube, JapanAccessibility Information Accessibility information for this book is coming soon.
