Objective The objective of this revised official guideline, published by the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG) and coordinated in the joint guidelines program of the DGGG, the Austrian Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics…

Endometriosis is heterogeneous, and evidence for individualised postoperative management is limited. We assessed whether postoperative hormonal therapy exposure is associated with one-year changes in pain domains after first-time endometrio…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis appears in various forms and symptoms. With regard to the established endometriosis classifications, it is hardly possible to draw conclusions from the endometriosis to the symptoms caused by it. The objective of this…

A heuristic tool called "the hallmarks of cancer" helps to reduce the enormous complexity of cancer phenotypes and genotypes to a preliminary set of guiding principles. Other aspects of cancer have surfaced as possible improvements in our u…

Endometriosis constitutes the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain in female patients and is associated with infertility. Although there is no known cause for the disease, it is a heritable condition that is determined by numerous genet…

AbstractBackground: Comorbidities can affect survival of ovarian cancer patients by influencing treatment efficacy. However, little evidence exists on the association between individual concurrent comorbidities and prognosis in ovarian canc…

2019 wurden in deutschen Krankenhäusern insgesamt 748492 Geburten registriert, 3 Jahre zuvor wurden knapp 133000 Patient*innen mit Mammakarzinom vollstationär behandelt 1 2. Ein Uterus myomatosus kann ab dem Alter von 50 Jahren bei mehr als…

Die Therapie der Endometriose richtet sich unter anderem nach dem Ausmaß der Symptomatik, dem aktuellen bzw. dem zukünftigen Kinderwunsch sowie dem Alter der Patientin. Therapieoptionen sind die medikamentöse, die operative sowie die Schmer…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate blood-based biomarkers to detect endometriosis and/or adenomyosis across nine European centers (June 2014-April 2018). METHODS: This prospective, non-interventional study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of 54 blood-b…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian insufficiency is a major concern for long-term cancer survivors. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation for fertility preservation is an emerging technique that has proven successful over the past decade through transplantation…

INTRODUCTION: Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue with subsequent transplantation is an efficient option for restoring fertility in women at risk of premature ovarian failure. The association between infertility and endometriosis is well rec…

Schätzungen zufolge erkranken in Deutschland jedes Jahr etwa 40 000 Frauen an Endometriose. Derzeit befassen sich zahlreiche Forschungsbestrebungen mit den molekularen Mechanismen der Endometriose sowie möglichen Biomarkern – auch um Patien…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to provide an overview of the extent to which women with endometriosis are informed about, interested in, and make use of CAM, and to evaluate which of the methods are most often applied. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospe…

PURPOSE: In many diseases, it is possible to classify a heterogeneous group into subgroups relative to tumor biology, genetic variations, or clinical and pathological features. No such classification is available for endometriosis. In our r…

Abstract Aims The aim of this official guideline published and coordinated by the German Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (DGGG) in cooperation with the Austrian Society for Gynaecology and Obstetrics (OEGGG) and the Swiss Society for …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common diseases in women of reproductive age. Despite characteristic symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, chronic abdominal pain, dysuria, dyschezia and dyspareunia, the average latency until diagnosis…

Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases. The extremely heterogeneous complex of symptoms complicates the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In most patients, there is a latency period of several years bet…
