This review examines the current understanding of endometriosis as an estrogen-dependent condition linked to pelvic pain and infertility, focusing on proteogenomic approaches to clarify its pathogenesis. The authors analyze literature regarding immune system interactions and emerging nonhormonal, antiangiogenic, and experimental therapies alongside classic treatments like GnRH agonists and progesterone receptor ligands. They conclude that advanced genomic and proteomic technologies hold promise for identifying specific molecular targets to develop new drugs aimed at improving patient quality of life. This paper is centrally about endometriosis, specifically exploring biomolecular pharmacotherapy and omics-based management strategies.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, associated with pelvic pain and infertility, with still limited knowledge of the pathogenesis, pathophysiology of related infertility and evolution. OBJECTIVE: To investigate proteogenomic approaches and new trends of endometriosis treatment. METHODS: A literature search was carried out for all articles on endometriosis related to immune system, and to non-hormonal, antiangiogenic and experimental therapies. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Classic endometriosis pharmacotherapy is represented by GnRH agonists, oral contraceptives and Type II progesterone receptor ligands. New proteomic and genomic technologies could help to clarify the aetiology of endometriosis and promise the rapid identification of a new generation of drugs with a specific molecular target, with the aim to ameliorate the patients' quality of life.
