A woman in her seventies presented with mucous hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in the upper rectum. Immunohistochemical staining showed CK7 positivity and CK20/CDX2 negativity, findings atypical for …
Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is a distinct form of epithelial ovarian cancer that arises from the malignant transformation of benign endometriotic lesions. While epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is acknowledged as a …
Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …
Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
Endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare tumor. Histologically, the tumor is predominantly characterized by HAC with additional components, as documented in previous reports. The coexistence of endometrial HAC …
Knowledge pertaining to the interplay between body image, body compassion, and endometriosis-related symptoms is limited. The current study aimed to elucidate the relationships between body compassion, body image, and endometriosis-related …
To demonstrate a step-by-step technique of intraoperative intraureteric indocyanine green (ICG) administration under cystoscopic guidance to localize intraoperative ureters under near-infrared fluorescence imaging during laparoscopic deep endometriosis surgery. The standardization …
Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable ion channel that plays a pivotal role in peripheral thermosensation and nociception. Moreover, gain-of-function variants in TRPM3 underlie a spectrum …
The study aimed to investigate the roles of endothelin-1 and endothelin receptors in a rat endometriosis model and to demonstrate how bosentan (BOS), an endothelin receptor blocker, could potentially serve …
