Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule involved in cellular communication and plays a critical role in various biological processes. Given its dual role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we conducted a systematic literature revie…

This review explores the dual role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, aiming to deepen our understanding of these processes through a systematic literature review. To assess the inductio…

Objective To compare the levels of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated mRNAs and the clinical characteristics of patients with endometriosis or gynaecological cancer. Methods This prospective study obtained intraperitoneal fluid sa…

Endometriosis and gynecologic cancer show similar patterns of invasion. Little is known about the roles of autophagy in endometriosis and, to date, the expression of autophagy-associated mRNAs has not been compared in patients with endometr…

Endometriosis, although not malignant, has clinically demonstrated properties of invasiveness and metastasis. The pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, has not yet been elucidated. The immunological differences between endometriosis and m…

Abstract Objective The immunological differences between endometriosis and malignant gynecologic tumors were analyzed by assessing C-type lectin receptors, which are associated with innate immunity, and immunoglobulin secretion, which is as…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is characterized by repeated inflammatory changes and serious adhesions, inducing innate and adaptive immune responses within the abdominal cavity. To assess these immune responses, we evaluated the levels of expres…

Abstract Objective: To assess these immune responses, we evaluated the levels of expression of Toll-like receptors (TLR)-1, -2, -4, -5, and -9; nucleotide-binding oligomerization domains (NOD)-1 and -2; interleukins-1β, -6, -8, -10, and -12…

Malignant neoplasm of the fallopian tube is the rarest of the gynecologic cancers. Vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and pelvic pain are the most common symptoms. Because of these non-specific symptoms, the diagnosis of this least common…
