Endometriosis and ovarian cancer: epidemiological evidence, molecular insights, and clinical decision-making.
Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
Endometrial expression of T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains and cluster of differentiation 155: A case-control study of a novel immunomodulatory axis in endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting about 10% of females in their reproductive years, characterized by endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus. Immune checkpoints play a crucial role in …
Nuclear factor IX promotes endometriosis progression through transcriptional activation of tetraspanin-2.
Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometriosis …
Endometriosis and breakthrough pain during labor epidural analgesia: a matched case-control study 2025-2026.
We previously identified endometriosis as a potential risk factor for breakthrough pain during labor epidural analgesia in a prospective cohort, but the low prevalence of endometriosis (n = 15) produced …
