Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that, despite its benign histology, displays several cancer-relevant features, including clonal expansion, somatic alteration-associated lesion evolution, tissue invasion, apoptosis resistance, immune evasion, angiogenesis, …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting 5-10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pain and infertility. While research has mainly focused on local lesions, systemic …
Ovarian cancer remains one of the deadliest gynecologic malignancies because of late-stage diagnosis, biological heterogeneity, and the lack of effective early detection strategies. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) comprises several histotypes, …
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in evaluating gynecologic diseases, offering superior soft-tissue characterization, multiplanar imaging, and functional assessment compared to ultrasound and computed tomography. This article …
Epithelial ovarian cancer is not a single disease but a group of biologically distinct malignancies that include serous (high-grade and low-grade), endometrioid, clear cell, and mucinous carcinomas, along with other …
Endometriosis is associated with immune dysregulation yet circulating cytokine measurements have shown limited discriminatory value. We investigated whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from women with endometriosis exhibit altered basal …
Background: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder with limited treatment options. The precise molecular targets of curcumin and its effects on local estrogen synthesis in this disease remain unclear. Methods: We …
Background: Endometriosis affects 190 million women worldwide, so there is a need for accessible and more comprehensive knowledge regarding the pharmacotherapeutic options that can be offered to patients. This systematic …
Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age individuals, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Current treatments are based primarily on …
