ABSTRACT Context Peritoneal endometriosis (PE) remains challenging to diagnose, as it cannot be detected using standard imaging modalities and no clinically validated biomarkers are available. Objective To identify novel blood-based biomark…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and impact of impaired thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on the reproductive outcomes of in vitro fertilization patients diagnosed with endometriosis and compared …

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease that significantly compromises the quality of life of patients. To date, invasive surgery is the method of choice to visually and histologically confirm endometriosis. Thus…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to develop a clinically applicable prediction tool to early seek for postoperative major complications after laparoscopic surgery for benign pathologies. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of prospecti…

STUDY QUESTION: Can cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and transforming growth factor-β-induced protein ig-h3 (TGFBI) alone or in combination with cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) be considered as potential blood biomarkers of endometrio…

Endometriosis is a common non-malignant gynecological disease that significantly compromises fertility and quality of life of the majority of patients. The gold standard for diagnosis is visual inspection of the pelvic organs by surgical la…
