A clinically reliable non-invasive test for endometriosis is expected to reduce the diagnostic delay. Although varieties of biomarkers have been investigated for decades, and cancer antigen-125, cancer antigen-199, interleukin-6, and urocor…
Fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA), a cell adhesion molecule, contains two arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) cell adhesion sequences. Our previous study demonstrated that FGA, as an up-regulated protein in endometriosis (EM), was closely related…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and to assess the impact of concurrent endometriosis on this group. Met…
The role of leptin in the development of endometriosis has been investigated previously. However, researches on the change of leptin levels in endometriosis remains controversial. So, we aimed to clarify changes of leptin levels in patients…

OBJECTIVE(S): CHL1 (close homologue of L1 or cell adhesion molecule L1 like), also referred as CALL, is a member of the L1 gene family of neural cell adhesion molecules and belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily. This study aims to investiga…
Endometriosis (EM) is a mysterious and complicated disease that has been found to be multifactorial. Recent studies demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the functional an…
BACKGROUND: The association between the previous history of endometriosis and obstetric outcomes is still ambiguous. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of previous history of operatively diagnosed endometriosis on pregnancy outcomes. …
BACKGROUND: Circulating endometrial cells (CECs) have been reported to be present in the peripheral blood of women with endometriosis (EM), providing clear and specific evidence of the presence of ectopic lesions. In this study, we establis…
Although adenomyosis is a largely benign disease, malignant transformations do happen in rare cases, resulting in endometrioid adenocarcinoma or sarcoma in the myometrium. Recently, attention has been focused on the malignant transformation…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the recurrence and fertility outcome of stage III - IV endometriosis after conservative surgery. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 90 women with stage III - IV endometriosis who had been diagnosed by pat…
