OBJECTIVE: To critically evaluate the evidence linking endometriosis to ovarian cancer, with particular focus on endometrioid and clear cell histologic subtypes, and to inform risk stratification and patient counseling. METHODS: A systemat…

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels excel in cellular sensing as they allow rapid ion influx across the plasma membrane in response to a variety of extracellular cues. Recently, a distinct TRP mRNA expression signature was observed …

Abstract Epidemiological, biological, and molecular data suggest links between endometriosis and endometrial cancer, with recent epidemiological studies providing evidence for an association between a previous diagnosis of endometriosis and…

The endometrium, which is of crucial importance for reproduction, undergoes dynamic cyclic tissue remodeling. Knowledge of its molecular and cellular regulation is poor, primarily owing to a lack of study models. Here, we have established a…

OBJECTIVE: Epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are, although still treated as a single disease entity, often classified into type I tumors (low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell) and type II tumors (high-grade serous, undiffere…

BACKGROUND: The development of cancer from adenomyotic foci is a rare occurrence. The diagnosis is frequently delayed because of the absence of tumor in the eutopic endometrium. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 64-year-old postmenopausal…

We report a case of polypoid bladder endometriosis in pregnancy. Diagnostic workup showed a vesicouterine well-vascularized polypoid mass, suspicious for malignancy. During pregnancy, the mass was surgically resected with safe oncological m…

Pelvic surgery for gynecological cancer can affect sexuality through a number of anatomical, physiological and psychological mechanisms. We aimed to examine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and psychological functioning in women who und…
