Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, highlighting the urgent need to establish appropriate treatment strategies. The establishment of effective treatments would not only enhance the quality of life for the affected women but also contribute significantly to society. However, the causative factors, non-invasive diagnostic methods enabling early detection, and optimization of treatment for this disease remain largely elusive or unestablished. Consequently, addressing these issues is imperative.
This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in endometriosis, focusing on three key aspects: pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. It seeks to gather cutting-edge research and insights on the molecular mechanisms underlying endometriosis, innovative diagnostic approaches, new knowledge of anatomy required for surgery, and advancements in therapeutic interventions. By bringing together expert perspectives and recent scientific findings, this Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of endometriosis and provide valuable knowledge for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals. This Special Issue also emphasizes the importance of patient-centered care and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition. Through this collection of articles, we hope to foster dialogue and facilitate further progress in endometriosis.
