Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in primary endometrial lesions and the endocervix in patients with EC to identify noninvasive pred…

Recent evidence suggests that immunological aspects play a pivotal role in this disorder. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is crucial in recognizing microbial infections and mediating innate immune response. The objective of our study was to rat…

Background: Uterine sarcomas and carcinosarcoma are associated with unfavorable prognosis. The regimens that are used in chemotherapy are associated with high incidence of side effects and usually do not significantly increase patients’ sur…

INTRODUCTION: Data on the possible role of peritoneal fluid free radical-mediated oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of endometriosis still remains inconsistent. The aim of the study was to determine iron metabolism markers and their infl…

Endometriosis is a chronic, benign disease that affects women in their reproductive age. Still it has many common features with cancerous diseases. Numerous researchers have proved the undisputed connection between endometriosis and ovarian…

OBJECTIVES: Most investigators agree that endometriosis is associated with a state of subclinical, non-infectious peritoneal inflammation. The objective of the study was to assess concentrations of two markers of the acute inflammatory phas…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-isoprostane levels in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred and ten women with laparoscopically and histopathologically confirmed e…

The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis still remains unknown. Recent data provide new valuable information concerning the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of the disease. It has been proved that levels of different lipid perox…

The majority of adult women with endometriosis report that their symptoms started in adolescence. Early diagnosis and optimal treatment prevent disease progression and mitigate long-term morbidities, such as infertility and chronic pelvic p…

BACKGROUND: HLA-G is an antigen whose participation in the regulation of the immune system is well documented. The aim of the present study has therefore been to evaluate the sHLA-G blood serum concentrations levels in both women with ovari…

THE AIM: Of the study was to evaluate utility of magnetic resonance (MR) in the assessment of the women who fulfilled inclusion criteria for uterine artery embolisation as a symptomatic leiomyoma treatment and outcome of procedures. MATERI…

We have assessed the usefulness of color and power Doppler velocimetry in uterine and radial arteries in a group of subfertile women who were referred for infertility treatment. The study group comprised of 44 women monitored at 7-10th, 11-…
